Prohousing factors
The Metropolis of Los Altos just lately earned high honors from the state for its efforts to implement insurance policies that go above and past state housing regulation to facilitate housing manufacturing.
The designation makes the town extra aggressive for particular funding alternatives, together with Prohousing Incentive Program grants, neighborhood improvement, and infrastructure funding applications administered by HCD.
In response to a press launch, Los Altos has totally carried out 90% its Housing Component applications since adopting its Housing Component in January 2023.
“Los Altos is eliminating ADU fees, leveraging city-owned land for affordable housing and boosting density for projects serving extremely low-income and senior residents,” the HCD write in a Sept. 18 announcement. “These new designees are demonstrating how local leadership can meaningfully contribute to solving the state’s most pressing challenge.”
The Prohousing Designation Program was created as a part of the California State 2019-20 Funds Act to offer help, incentives and accountability measures to fulfill California’s housing objectives.
