We envision an equitable Orange County where <br />every person has access to stable, affordable housing nearjobs, community <br />services and high -quality educational opportunities. <br />The housing shortage is dire, and we need cities to create approval pathways <br />for affordable and workforce housing as expeditiously as possible. That is the <br />intention behind AB 2011 and SB6- to facilitate development of housing on <br />sites currently zoned for commercial with expedited review while ensuring a <br />significant portion of those homes are affordable to low income residents. <br />People for Housing OC has an interest in seeing these laws perform because <br />delays in housing production impact everyone, but most assuredly the 75% of <br />low-income residents who qualify to live in affordable housing or for housing <br />01-1 <br />
