7th Annual SHA Regional Affordable Housing Summit.
Our theme this year was IT Starts With Home. Each day had a unique theme and our keynote speakers and panelists spoke to how it starts with Housing Justice, Home is the Foundation for Health Communities, and The Future of Home is Now. If you did not get a chance to attend the conference, it is now available to watch on our You Tube Channel.

Multi Family in Single Family Zones |
Sacramento City Council has developed a menu of strategies tied to the 2040 General Plan, which includes allowing duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes in areas that were exclusively used for single family homes. Allowing an array of housing types such as duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes in single family zones, is one part of a much-needed comprehensive strategy to bring more affordable homes to the Sacramento region. This strategy is necessary to address inequities in housing yet insufficient to solve segregation and access to affordable homes in areas of opportunity. |
|
This strategy alone will not significantly provide affordable homes for lower income families, it will create more varied housing options in every neighborhood, creating additional housing opportunities in every neighborhood in the City. Combined with aggressive strategies to fund the construction of and preservation of regulated affordable homes for lower income households and families and policies to directly affirmatively further fair housing, the City’s strategy can attack Sacramento’s housing crisis using a multi-pronged approach. |
|
SHA in partnership with HOPE Cooperative and several of our affordable housing developers have been connecting with the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors to create new pathways to fund services in permanent supportive housing developments (PSH). The CalAIM program, California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) is a multi-year initiative, by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to improve the quality of life and health outcomes of individuals on Medi-Cal by implementing broad delivery system, as well as program and payment reform across the Medi-Cal program.
