An organization with a mission to encourage and help finance development of housing that’s affordable to teachers, police, firefighters and other professionals, will seek a resolution of support from the city council next month.

Build Galveston, a spinoff of Vision Galveston, will seek support through a resolution at a Jan. 25 city council meeting. The resolution doesn’t entail a financial commitment by the city or any other obligation, said John Rutherford, a consultant to Build Galveston, a nonprofit community development corporation focused on workforce housing.
