WHAT WE DO
Housing &
Redevelopment is dedicated to
preserving existing affordable
housing in Santa Monica and creating
new housing opportunities for
residents with low and moderate
incomes. Pressures on the existing
housing stock in Santa Monica from
market forces and changes to state
and federal laws will impact
affordable housing opportunities for
low and moderate income persons and
families. Housing & Redevelopment
works with private affordable
housing developers and multifamily
property owners to ensure that
economic diversity, a hallmark of
Santa Monica, continues to flourish
and that longtime residents can
remain in their households.
