We commissioned a Sonoma-Valley-specific housing need assessment from Generation Housing for this Roadmap. Read the assessment here for more details.

Currently, the best estimate for housing PRODUCTION need in Sonoma Valley is extrapolated from Generation Housing’s county-wide estimate: ~5,800 units between now and 2030, of which 70% or 4,000 should be below-market. Data on housing subsidy PRESERVATION needs is in the City’s and County’s Housing Element appendices. SVC is not aware of any estimate of the number of precariously housed residents needing housing PROTECTION, although during this project SVUSD will begin to develop an estimate.
