Collaborating Across Counties & Cities
Currently, the Bay Area’s nine counties and 101 cities and towns address most housing issues individually, and often with limited staff and financial resources. BAHFA works to transform the way affordable housing is financed in the region and encourages collaboration across all cities and counties to solve the Bay Area’s affordable housing challenges together.
BAHFA is working to bring immediate housing benefits to the region, including:
- Doorway, an online affordable housing search and application portal that serves the nine counties, to simplify the process of finding affordable homes in the Bay Area.
- A rental assistance subsidy program in Napa to prevent extremely low-income seniors and people with disabilities from becoming homeless.
- One-time state grants for affordable housing preservation and production projects.
- A Bay Area affordable housing pipeline to provide a comprehensive inventory of affordable housing projects in pre-development in the region.
