Who is going to build the affordable units?
The City of Novato has never built affordable housing. The City’s responsibility is to identify the sites where this kind of development could occur. It is expected that private market rate developers and non-profit housing developers would construct this housing. It could be that a partnership between a private and non-profit developer would occur to build housing. In the past, the City of Novato has contributed funds, however, due to the City’s financial constraints, the City may not be able to participate financially in projects.
