A San Diego Housing Commission report analyzing affordable housing in the city won the national Award of Excellence from the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, it was announced Tuesday.
"This report was an essential step toward the City Council's adoption of strategies to preserve affordability for existing housing units throughout the city of San Diego," SDHC President and CEO Richard Gentry said."I thank the mayor, City Council and San Diego Housing Commission Board for their support of affordable housing preservation and congratulate the housing commission's exceptional staff for this national recognition.
SDHC created a database of deed-restricted affordable rental housing units citywide. It then commissioned a study to analyze the data, identify the city's housing preservation needs, estimate costs for addressing the challenges, and recommend a framework with strategies for policymakers to consider to achieve the necessary objectives.
After City Council Land Use and Housing Committee discussions, the council on Oct. 27, 2020, approved seven actions proposed to implement a strategy for affordable housing preservation in the city.
