Making housing more accessible
Teachers, nurses, first responders and hospitality workers should be able to live in the county they serve. Orange County's housing costs have outrun its paychecks, and the answer is more homes of every kind, built faster, in the places people want to live.
- Speed up permitting and cut review times so attainable homes get built, not stuck.
- Put the county's Affordable Housing Trust Fund to work on projects that deliver units, and measure results publicly.
- Support homeownership for first-time buyers and protect renters from unfair practices.
- Partner with faith communities, nonprofits and employers to build on land the county already controls.
