In addition, I support expansion of the county rental voucher program to create more affordable units. I also support inventorying public lands that could be sites for affordable housing and optioning private land for future construction of affordable units.

The county should contribute funding and expertise in housing development to projects to house first responders, teachers, public employees, emancipated foster youth, low-income residents, childcare providers, and others who live and contribute to our communities but can’t afford market rents.
