Housing Element Update

Housing Element Update

The purpose of the housing element is to achieve an adequate supply of safe, affordable housing for all economic segments of the community as well as people with special housing needs. Despite a number of successes, the supply of affordable housing in Sausalito, Marin and in the Bay Area has become increasingly scarce. This has many impacts on the community as it becomes more difficult to fill vacant jobs; roadways are clogged with workers traveling longer distances; and many young families, longtime residents, and other community members relocate because they can no longer afford to live here. The impacts are especially significant for households in the low and moderate-income categories (earning less than 120 percent of the County median income) and households that have special housing needs, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and large households.
