Monterey Herald: Monetary Meeting to Address City’s Plans for Affordable Housing

The spotlight will be on the city of Monterey’s housing policy during a special meeting Wednesday designed to provide council members and the public a snapshot of the activities and strategy relating to the city’s housing crisis. The presentation comes as the housing office prepares its yearly budget and Community Development Block Grant action plan, which relies on federal money that it and other cities receive on an annual basis to put toward disadvantaged and low income portions of the population. The overall goals of the city’s housing plan includes improving housing opportunities for low and moderate-income households and providing a suitable living environment for all residents and income levels.
