Starting at a new school with new people and new faces can be overwhelming, but The Nine at West Campus is here to help the transition by providing SMART Housing. Through SMART Housing, we are here to help students who receive need-based financial aid, pay for school via student loans, or work while going through school to pay for living expenses independently.
Frequently Asked Questions About SMART Housing
The SMART (Safe, Mixed-Income, Accessible, Reasonably-priced, Transit-Oriented) Housing program is designed to stimulate the production of housing for low-and-moderate income residents of Austin by providing fee waivers for development permits in exchange for onsite income-restricted units. To participate in SMART Housing, developments must provide a certain level of affordable housing, meet specific accessibility and green building standards, and satisfy requirements related to proximity to transit.
