New Report Details Paths Forward for Affordable Housing in the Bay Area

In December, Enterprise released The Elephant in the Region: Charting a Path for Bay Area Metro to Lead a Bold Housing Agenda, which looks at how the Bay Area could transform its collective ability to deliver affordable housing through the creation, resourcing and staffing of a new regional housing entity at Bay Area Metro. The report provides action steps to create this new housing entity, including establishing, capitalizing, and managing regional land coordination. The report notes that the integration of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) into Bay Area Metro would provide an important opportunity to create a stable foundation for regional housing solutions.
