There aren’t enough affordable places available for people to rent or purchase, or what is available and affordable isn’t the kind of housing people need. The City does have some tools to encourage affordable housing, but the current amount of funding and incentives for affordable housing are not enough to meet our goals. Job Growth Continues to outpace housing growth Housing is expensive to build, and the cost of building new housing will likely continue to increase over time.
