Building a Roadmap for San Diego: Inside the Housing Blueprint Strategy

San Diego County is facing a historic housing affordability crisis, forcing many residents to spend over half their income just to keep a roof over their heads. To tackle this head-on, the County is developing a comprehensive Housing Blueprint to align policies, funding, and development goals through 2029.

Core Question: How can the San Diego Housing Blueprint unify regional efforts to maximize affordable housing production and protect vulnerable populations?

Highlights

• A strategic framework built on the “5 Ps”: Produce, Promote, Preserve, Prevent, and Protect.
• Direct oversight focused on the 500,000 residents living in the County’s unincorporated areas.
• Creation of a specialized task force to address financing for middle-income “missing middle” housing.
• A multi-phase timeline targeting final Board of Supervisors approval by Summer 2024.
