Background Information:
The City Council identified Workforce Housing as one of five strategic initiatives for two years in a row. In order to address this initiative a Workforce Housing Task Force has been formed to assist the City Council Workforce Housing Committee in developing a strategic action plan aimed at addressing the housing needs in San Marcos. The Task Force has worked in tandem with City Staff and local stakeholders, using current data from the San Marcos Housing Needs Assessment to understand housing challenges in San Marcos.
The Draft Strategic Housing Action Plan is now available. The Strategic Housing Action Plan represents a synthesis of the work of the Workforce Housing Task Force over the last 9 months to better understand housing in San Marcos and propose solutions to address the challenges faced by working families. The initial draft is a place to start in identifying solutions to this complex challenge. The Task Force is seeking public input to help transform this initial draft into the Task Force Recommended draft for City Council review this fall.
