WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING IN THE SOUTH COAST?
January 17, 2018 @ 12:00 pm PST
California has just passed 15 new laws designed to streamline and increase the local production of affordable housing. Since that has long been the goal of our local governments, the League is eager to learn what these new laws will mean for rental housing in our South Coast area. For the first time these anti-NIMBY laws allow no reduction in housing units without serious penalties. They also provide funding mechanisms to build more affordable rental units. They will completely change how housing projects are approved in the future.
At noon on Wednesday, January 17, 2018, the League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara will host a community forum on how the Southern Santa Barbara County region plans to increase affordable rental housing. We have invited expert speakers from the County and the Cities of Goleta, Santa Barbara and Carpinteria to present how the new laws will change the existing housing programs in each of their jurisdictions.
The Forum will be held in the Faulkner Gallery of the Santa Barbara Central Library.
There is handicapped access now, and parking on both sides of the Library. Everyone is invited to this educational forum.
