Developing Affordable Housing

Developing Affordable Housing

The Department of Conservation and Development facilitates the development of affordable housing by working with housing developers. Typically, awards are made once per year as part of the annual cycle of Federal/State funding awards. Email dcd.housing@dcd.cccounty.us to be added to the mailing list for notifications of funding opportunities.  

Staff is available to discuss project proposals with developers in the early planning stages of a development in order to assist the developer in creating viable and innovative solutions to providing affordable housing. After reading the guidelines below, call 925-655-2882 to speak with the Housing Planner.
