Page 21 <br /> Housing Security <br />San Leandro residents told us… <br />They want a social contract that ensures seniors do not have to pay <br />more than 30% of their monthly income on housing costs. The Bay <br />Area housing crisis continues, but community members believe we <br />can do more to ensure seniors do not find themselves unhoused or <br />at risk of losing their housing. <br />1 Identify short-term, alternative core housing <br />programs that complement existing local <br />affordable housing efforts <br />Project Lead: Community Development Department, <br />Housing Services Division <br />Project Support: Human Services Department <br />Action Step #1. Work collaboratively with local and regional <br />community housing partners to identify alternative core <br />housing programs with relatively short start-up runways <br />and low operating costs. Potential senior housing <br />programs already included in the City’s current Housing <br />Element Update are land trusts, housing protections (like <br />rent control), mobile home park rents, home sharing and <br />roommate matching, and various cohousing models. <br />Action Step #2. Work collaboratively to design protocols <br />and procedures for providing transportation and food <br />access to transient populations, as well as pathways to <br />housing for unhoused seniors. <br />City of San Leandro | Age-Friendly Action Plan
