Expanding affordable housing mandate in Long Beach to be discussed at upcoming forums
The City Council could vote on expanding the city's inclusionary housing ordinance later this year and the city is hosting a series of forums to discuss housing policies in Long Beach.
A new affordable housing mandate that could require developers to include units for lower-income households in new developments across Long Beach could be adopted by the end of the year but residents will be able to give their input on the issue in three upcoming forums.
The Long Beach Community Development is hosting the first housing policy forum Saturday, Aug. 24 at Houghton Park where it is inviting residents and other stakeholders to learn about the proposed policy expansion and share their thoughts on the city’s efforts to increase affordability.
