Housing that People Can Afford

To grow an inclusive and prosperous economy, all residents must live in quality housing at a price that is accessible to them. For most residents, housing ranked as the second most important service in the survey. Black, young, and low-income respondents all ranked housing as the service most important to them. During the Thrive305 Action Plan Workshops, advocates and experts shared that the cost of housing has outpaced local incomes.

 

To serve the current and next generation, our County must expand the supply of affordable housing. Residents reported that housing strategies should focus on building and preserving affordable rental housing, and homeownership.
