STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Adopting the Affordable Housing Plan supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous by addressing the community’s critical housing needs and establishing policies and actions that promote housing affordability, stability, and access.
REPORT:
Staff is requesting City Council’s approval of the City of Yuma’s Affordable Housing Plan, prepared by Root Policy Research. The plan outlines a comprehensive strategy to address the City’s housing challenges, support housing stability, and guide future housing policy and investment.
The development of the attached plan included extensive research and community input. Root Policy Research worked closely with City staff, stakeholders, and residents to assess housing needs, identify barriers to affordability, and propose actionable strategies tailored to Yuma’s unique housing market.
Key recommendations in the plan include:
- Increasing the supply of affordable housing units
- Preserving existing affordable housing stock
- Promoting equitable access to housing and fair housing compliance
Public engagement included stakeholder interviews, community surveys, and public meetings. The Plan enables the City to align housing policy decisions with identified community needs and improve competitiveness for future housing-related funding opportunities.
