Affirmatively further fair housing by working with creative sites and programs in our Housing Element
Work with the community on General Plan updates that can accommodate housing opportunities that complement current neighborhoods
Expand Affordable Housing and Prevent Displacement
Support an updated city affordable housing funding strategy
Follow best practices for mobile home and apartment rent control
Reduce displacement by implementing a local version of the state’s anti displacement legislation, SB330
Work to create a regional network of options to curb homelessness and street vehicle residency
