2016 Measure A Affordable Housing Bond

Measure A impact

The Housing Bond will enhance the County’s ability to achieve its housing priorities which include: 

  • Increasing the scope and breadth of supportive housing for special needs populations, including homeless and chronically homeless persons;
  • Increasing the supply of housing that is affordable to extremely low income (ELI) households; and,
  • Improving coordination and collaboration among the County, the cities, other governmental agencies, and the affordable housing community.

The County of Santa Clara and its partners have moved quickly to utilize the bond funds, which are projected to fund 120 new affordable housing developments over ten years, including 4,800 new units dedicated to extremely low-income households and individuals, families exiting homelessness, and other underserved populations.

For more details about the progress of the Housing Bond funding, check out Measure A progress, and explore the interactive supportive housing map for a comprehensive and interactive look at existing and future supportive housing developments throughout Santa Clara County.
