Housing

As Commissioner, I will strengthen housing stability by focusing on affordability, access, and protection.

Expand Affordable Housing
Increase the supply of housing affordable to working families and seniors by leveraging county financing, preserving naturally occurring affordable housing, and partnering with cities and developers to lower per-unit costs.

Ensure Responsible Allocation of Emergency Rental Assistance
Ensure state and federal funds are distributed quickly and transparently, reducing administrative delays and holding systems accountable so assistance reaches residents before crises escalate.

Prevent Displacement and Strengthen Eviction Prevention
Protect long-time residents and stabilize neighborhoods by investing in legal assistance, mediation, and tenant support that reduce filings, prevent displacement, and keep families housed.

Support First-Time Homeownership
Create clear pathways to homeownership through down payment assistance, financial counseling, and targeted outreach so more residents can build long-term stability and generational wealth.

Promote Responsible Development
Use county funding and coordination to support projects that expand housing supply without pricing out existing residents, ensuring accountability for public investment.
