On Thursday, the Austin City Council approved a resolution to explore ways to save older homes by relocating and deconstructing them instead of tearing them down.

The group Preserve Austin said it has seen a decrease in houses being relocated due to procedural red tape, development fees and a complex permitting process.

"House relocation provides an opportunity to preserve existing housing. Homes can be relocated within a lot or a separate lot to provide affordable home ownership options. Equally important as counsel mentioned relocation helps divert waste to our landfills,” Alter said during Thursday’s meeting.
