The Affordable Housing Resources Panel (AHRP) was created by the Board of Supervisors in July 2018 as a continuation of the Communitywide Housing Strategic Plan. Phase 2 of the Communitywide Housing Strategic Plan is intended to be a longer-term plan delineating the resources and investments necessary to meet the County’s affordable housing challenges.
The AHRP is composed of diverse representatives from the public, private, and non-profit sectors, and met for the first time on Oct. 23. The group has been asked to provide recommendations to the Board of Supervisors regarding affordable housing goals (how many units of housing that is affordable should we work towards producing and preserving in the next 15 years, what is a realistic goal, what funding sources should be pursued to help bring about additional units, etc).The AHRP provided its recommendations to the Board of Supervisors' Budget Committee on March 12, 2019.
