Sacramento County, Calif Affordable Housing Program

Type: Ordinance

Status: Adopted

Date: December 8, 2004

Description:

On December 8, 2004, the County Board of Supervisors adopted Chapter 22.35 of the Sacramento County Code implementing an affordable housing program. This program applies to all new residential development of five or more units in the unincorporated County. In general, the program requires the production of 15% of all new housing at levels affordable to low, very-low and extremely-low income households, although there are many options to meet this requirement. County Planning and SHRA staff are developing guidelines and template documents to assist developers, builders, and potential homebuyers interested in the ordinance. Below, please find a copy of the affordable housing ordinance and a flow chart describing the County and developer options under the ordinance. For more information, please call Cindy Cavanaugh at (916) 440-1328.
