The beauty of our Ward 5 is in the diversity of our neighborhoods and the residents who live here. Safe, affordable, sustainable, quality housing is a fundamental right and provides a foundation for communities to thrive, with shared prosperity.
We must prioritize housing affordability to meet the unique needs of all Ward 5 residents by:
- Prioritizing low-income options for affordable units for rent
- Strengthening Safety Net Programs to Eliminate Housing Insecurity and Displacement
- Enabling long-time residents to age in place
- The Creation of Distinct Funding for Workforce Housing
- Expanding first-time homebuyers programs for multiple income levels and capacities
- Supporting programs designed to help residents progress in their homeownership and stay in the city
