Where we answer common

resident questions

Q: Where can I find more information on affordable housing?

A: If you or someone you know is looking for affordable housing we recommend reviewing these sites:

The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) is a central figure in fostering affordable housing and stability in Sacramento County. The agency is involved in the development of new housing projects, as well as the renovation of existing properties to meet the needs of low- and moderate-income residents. Through collaboration with private developers, SHRA facilitates the construction of rental and homeownership opportunities that are affordable to a wide range of income levels.
