Questions & Answers
1. (Increase affordable housing) What would you do to increase the supply of affordable housing now that we no longer have redevelopment?
It is challenging in the Bay Area to find affordable housing. As a Councilmember, I worked to ensure affordable housing unit numbers were enforced. We have also instituted an in lieu program for developers to contribute to a pool of funding that is dedicated for building affordable housing. Since being on Council we have welcomed new affordable housing projects such as Main Street Village, Eden Senior Housing and others. My passion has been to ensure that we have affordable housing for all our citizens with a particular interest for the low and extremely low income levels, seniors, the disabled, and returning veterans. I am a strong affordable housing advocate.
