Rent is eating people’s paychecks and owning a home feels out of reach. The biggest driver is decades of underbuilding. The U.S. is short at least 5 million homes.
Austin has shown before that the answer to rising rents is building more housing. Construction costs are going up, which is making building harder. Rents are starting to rise again. This is why we launched the Airbnb Housing Accelerator. More supply is the answer, and we’re helping build it. Starting in Austin.
For years, every conversation we've had with mayors, city councils, and state legislators ends the same way: the U.S. needs to build more homes. So that's where we're starting.
@AURAatx @FLHousingC @chpcny @HACdotorg Every city is different, and there's no single fix. This is the work we think we can usefully do, and we're looking for the next project. Know one that's one check away from breaking ground? Come find us: airbnb.com/housing
