Why does Poway need affordable housing?
Affordable housing encourages upward mobility by enabling residents to save for higher education and homeownership. In addition, affordable housing is required by state law, as all cities in California must provide sufficient housing opportunities for the State’s growing population. Because of this law, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) develops a Regional Housing Allocation Plan every two years to determine the number of affordable housing units Poway must have in place.
