WHAT WE DO
The Housing Division 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.

Housing Production and Preservation works with private developers to
preserve the City's existing stock of affordable housing through acquisition
and rehabilitation and increase the supply of affordable housing through new construction. These goals are accomplished using federal, state and City funds.
Housing Production and Preservation also promotes home ownership through
the TORCA Shared Appreciation Loan Program which assists qualified tenants in purchasing their (converted condominium) units.

Redevelopment
Agency
The Santa Monica Redevelopment Agency, in partnership with the
community, strives to improve a neighborhood’s physical, economic and
social environment through redevelopment activities. Redevelopment activities represent a community’s effort toward achieving various neighborhood revitalization goals. Neighborhoods benefit through financial investment in
public facilities as well as residential, commercial and retail properties.
AB 987 -
Database of Affordable Units
AB 987 requires redevelopment agencies to
compile and maintain a database of new and
substantially rehabilitated housing units
developed or otherwise assisted with Low and
Moderate Income Housing Funds. This is not a
list of units available to rent.
The database is updated annually in conjunction
with the preparation of the Redevelopment Agency's
Annual Report. Those projects
that are fulfilling Inclusionary and replacement
Housing requirements of Community Law are noted
accordingly.
