Impact analysis
Programs are largely funded through Measure CDA and state housing funds; construction cost pressures shape what gets built.
Homeowners adding ADUs, renters seeking affordable units, seniors in rehabilitation programs, and developers using pre-approved plans.
Members noted neighborhoods may be concerned about density near them and want careful unit limits and good-neighbor standards.
