Channel: The Weird Homes Tour
Date: 2017-05-19

This award-winning video (FACES OF AUSTIN JURY PRIZE) covers the work that the Weird Homes Tour (https://www.weirdhomestour.com/how-we-give-back/) does around affordable housing. The city of Austin, TX has been known for it's wild, whimsical and weird artists for the last thirty years. However from 2006 to 2016, Austin home values increased an average 65.5% according to a study of federal housing data by the American City Business Journal. So although we love and value our artists, where can they actually live in Austin? This short film highlights the growing conflict between our love of artists and the booming growth of Austin, TX and how we can all make a difference. 

The Weird Homes Tour is a social impact startup that pledges a portion of every event ticket sold towards affordable housing solutions. More on how we pledge to give back here: https://www.weirdhomestour.com/how-we-give-back/
