 The Housing Section of the Planning Department performs a number of Housing functions. There are a variety
of County Affordable Housing Programs to assist income eligible households in the incorporated portions of
Santa Cruz County. Program activities are primarily funded through the Santa Cruz County Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Housing Fund.
Over the past 15 years, County and RDA-sponsored housing efforts have provided assistance to over 1,000 affordable housing units,
involving both new construction and renovation projects. Current housing activities include working on
mobile home park projects, partnering with non-profit affordable housing developers to build new affordable units or
to rehabilitate existing housing, and supporting a variety of efforts to create new affordable housing opportunities in
the community. Eligibility for affordable housing programs is based on Annual Median Income. Please see Income Table and the Affordable Housing Guidelines.
Housing staff also provides support to the Housing Advisory Commission.
