Advocates urge the authority to add implementation detail for deeply affordable and supportive housing
Summary
A Southern County Clubhouse representative urged the authority to add implementation detail for deeply affordable housing (10–40% AMI), transitional housing for people exiting psychiatric or substance-use treatment, and explicit supportive services tied to housing operations.
During the public-comment period, a representative from the Southern County Clubhouse urged the board to expand the strategic plan’s implementation detail for deeply affordable housing and to explicitly address transitional housing and supportive services. The commenter said many club members fall in the 10–40% AMI range and that supportive services are essential to stable housing outcomes: “Housing success, especially at the lower AMI levels, depends on what happens after move in,” the speaker said.
The commenter recommended the authority identify sites appropriate for deeply affordable housing (noting the Gilmore properties as one example) and offered that nonprofits could partner on raising funds and operating services if the county provided land, code flexibility or other resources. Board members thanked the speaker and noted the importance of implementation detail and partnerships in achieving the strategic plan’s goals.
