Support redevelopment activities that will produce more affordable housing

Goal 1: An Inclusive Community of Self-sufficient Residents
Description

In an effort to improve the quality of life for residents, businesses and not-for-profits, the City Manager’s Office continues to explore and implement redevelopment activities that support more affordable housing as well as improvements to initiatives such as infrastructure, employment opportunities, public spaces and business development.
Why and What it Achieves

Redevelopment activities, efforts and resources focused on enhancing the quality of life serve many purposes.  By promoting access to more housing, employment and educational opportunities, without displacing current residents, choices and economic mobility are expanded.  Creating healthy and safe neighborhoods with great public parks and streets, enables an active lifestyle.  Supporting other private and non-profit community partners will help the development of affordable housing to meet the City’s affordable housing goals.  Implementing both physical and community development goals leads to a sustainable, equitable and beautiful neighborhood for all of its residents regardless of income level.
