Homes for All Initiative
To achieve Grow Smart Bay Area, Greenbelt Alliance envisions the region’s existing cities and towns provide homes affordable to Bay Area residents across the socio-economic spectrum.
The Bay Area is a desirable place to live, and more people are expected to live here. Unfortunately, the cost of housing means long commutes for some and limited choices for others.
The region needs more homes in a variety of styles built within its already urbanized areas. The Bay Area needs political leaders and residents willing to support the construction of new homes in their communities. The region must make room for new residents in a way that benefits all and uses land for its best purpose.
