Program 29: Coordination and Implementation
Implementation and oversight of affordable housing development is facilitated by the Department of Regional Planning, Community Development Commission, Department of Public Works, Fire Department, Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Department of Public Health. The County provides an interdepartmental “One-Stop” counseling session and conceptual plan review. The One-Stop brings together representatives from relevant departments to provide information on County regulations and requirements to potential applicants. The pre-application conceptual design review provides preliminary feedback to potential applicants, which can reduce overall costs and improve projects.
