The Housing Affordability Task Force was recently appointed by the City Council, and will be charged with making recommendations to address the issues listed below and report these to the City Council.

1. Propose specific programs and resources for the creation and preservation of low and moderate income (ownership & rental) housing in Pasadena especially for families and persons with special needs.
   

2. Identify opportunities to cooperate with regional housing advocates and other cities to expand affordable housing opportunities throughout the west San Gabriel Valley.
   

3. Identify hindrances in the City’s approval process and land use regulations for development of a variety of housing projects, as well as incentives for participation in affordable housing programs by the private sector.
   

4. Analyze and recommend how specific programs such as rent control, permitting “granny flats” (and other programs the task force may identify) impact housing affordability and neighborhood character in the City of Pasadena.
   

5. Identify potential sites for affordable housing to ensure dispersion throughout the City and suggest methods of promoting projects.
   

6. Recommend strategies to increase awareness and education about affordable housing programs, development, and financing tools.
   

7. Review how effective current programs are and, if not, how they might be made more effective.
