Advancement of our Economic Prosperity through the revitalization of Chinatown by:

• Initiating an update of the Chinatown Rebound Plan.
• Assisting in the coordination of homeless services that focus on rapid rehousing in Chinatown.
• Facilitation of housing production in Chinatown by assisting in financing and permitting of Haciendas 3 and Mid-Pen’s project at 21 Soledad.

Creation of a well-planned city with excellent infrastructure and high quality housing for all residents through:  

• Adoption of a new Inclusionary Housing (or Housing Fee) Ordinance to support affordable housing. 
• Continued implementation of a housing rehabilitation program with funding through CDBG. 
• Identification of additional grant opportunities and incentives (i.e. expedited permitting) to expand housing production at a variety of income levels and for special needs populations (seniors, homeless, and disabled). 

Development of a healthy, vibrant, sustainable, green community that meets the needs of its most vulnerable through:

• Educating the community on fair housing rights, and starting conversations between tenants and landlords. (KION Story)
