The AHSC Program provides financial support for land use, housing, transportation and land preservation projects that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. All design standards must be met or a special development permit (minor or general) must be applied for in order to deviate from the standards. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA), in partnership with the city and county of Sacramento, has made available emergency rent and utility assistance to tenants who live anywhere in Sacramento County and have experienced a reduction in household income or other financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the SERA program is now closed to new applicants, though those who have already applied may recertify and reapply if they live in the city of Sacramento.
Deviations from the multifamily development standards requested under an SPM must not exceed 25% of the required standards, except in projects located in or adjacent to a low-density residential area (LDR). Duplex projects of up to 10 units (5 lots) or 10 lots (attached or independent single-family) are now considered “small projects” and are allowed by right in more residential areas. The House Appropriations Committee has asked members for community project funding (CPF) requests from members, in addition to standard programmatic and language requests. This change was made to reduce the time and costs of reviewing rights while still providing an adequate analysis of the possible impacts of the project. Table 6.3 of the Zoning Code outlines the minimum backrest and maximum height requirements for multifamily projects in or adjacent to LDR areas.
Fifty (50) percent of available funding goes towards affordable housing developments and 50 percent of available funding goes towards projects that benefit disadvantaged communities. This project is fully or partially supported by federal funding (assistance list number 21.02) granted to the city and county of Sacramento and the state of California by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
