  • The Housing Affordability Crisis
    Addressing The Housing Affordability Crisis San Diego Housing Production Objectives 2018-2028 We’re About People “Increase the number of housing opportunities that serve low-income and homeless individuals and families in the City of San Diego” Strategic Plan Goal San Diego Housing Commission September 9, 2016 Message from the President & CEO September 21, 2017 Identifying solutions to the housing affordability crisis in the City of San Diego requires innovation, collaboration, and the will to take action. I commend and thank our City, County, State and Federal elected officials, as well as the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) Board of Commissioners, for demonstrating their commitment to all three. When SDHC released our landmark report, “Addressing the Housing Affordability Crisis: An Action Plan for San Diego,” on November 25, 2015, we identified 11 recommended actions at the Local, State and Federal levels to reduce housing development costs and to increase production. To date, action has been taken on nine of these 11 recommendations, including the first—to set annual goals for housing production. To facilitate the creation of these goals for the City of San Diego, SDHC, in collaboration with San Diego City Councilmembers Scott Sherman and David Alvarez, the Chair and Vice Chair, respectively, of the City Council’s Smart Growth and Land Use Committee, studied the City’s overall housing production needs, its current supply, as well as its capacity for additional homes. Although the City of San Diego’s housing needs are even higher than previously estimated, the good news is that the City has enough capacity to create sufficient housing to meet our 10-year needs, as identified in this report.
