As federal and state housing funds become more volatile, jurisdictions across California are rethinking how they fund, implement, and sustain affordable housing programs. This session explores how cities can strengthen resilience through funding diversification and regional collaboration.
Panelists will share real-world examples of how local governments are:
- Diversifying revenue sources through tools like SB 9 fee revenue, Housing Trust Funds, ESG-CV, and voter-approved transfer fees
- Pooling resources across jurisdictions to meet RHNA goals, administer tenant protections, and scale program delivery
- Forming joint powers authorities (JPAs) or memoranda of understanding (MOUs) to share housing staff, run regional NOFAs (Notices of Funding Availability), and track Housing Element compliance
Whether your city is working to meet Housing Element deadlines or looking to stretch every housing dollar, this session offers replicable approaches to improve outcomes—and reduce burnout.
