Affordable Housing & Homeownership
Chula Vista's housing crisis is not inevitable — it is the result of policy choices made by those in power. Francisco will change those choices. He will push to build more workforce housing near the University Innovation District, streamline permits, and expand homeownership programs so the people who serve our city can afford to live in it.
- Accelerate workforce housing near the University Innovation District
- Require affordable units in new large developments
- Create a City Housing Trust Fund for local investment
- Support mixed-income communities near transit corridors
- Streamline permit approvals to reduce building costs
- Partner with developers committed to workforce pricing
- Expand first-time buyer down payment assistance
- Aggressively pursue state and federal housing funds
"I walk into homes where professionals with college degrees can't afford to buy in the city where they serve. If you teach our kids, protect our streets, or care for our sick — you deserve to own a home in Chula Vista."
— Francisco Tamayo
