-
PRODUCE affordable infill homes
Keep lower-income people in their affordable homes by partnering with philanthropy and other funds to assure that subsidized, below-market-rate homes in Sonoma Valley stay that way.

STRATEGY 1
Establish a Mission-Driven Non-Profit for Housing Development & Preservation
Working Title: Sonoma Valley Community Development Corporation (SVCDC)
Summary
Sonoma Valley needs a dedicated, mission-driven organization to strategically plan, coordinate, and facilitate the development and preservation of affordable and workforce housing. A community development corporation (C DC) is a proven model that can drive housing solutions through planning, advocacy, and implementation, filling gaps left by existing agencies.
The SVCDC would lead efforts to map housing needs, identify development opportunities, coordinate stakeholders, and overcome barriers to housing production and preservation. It would focus on long-term strategic planning while actively facilitating the development of housing solutions for workers, families, and employer-supported farmworker housing.
