This 5-Year Action Plan presents
the Housing Authority of the City
of Santa Barbara’s (HACSB)
perspective on the community’s
affordable housing needs and
discusses the Housing Authority’s
course for addressing these needs
over the next five years. The Plan
further examines and provides an
overview of the following: (1)
national, state and local affordable
housing trends, constraints and
needs; (2) existing Housing
Authority programs; (3) current
operational aspects of the Housing
Authority; and (4) the Housing
Authority’s goals and objectives
for the period April 2009 to
April 2014.
The national goal of “a safe, decent
and sanitary home for every
American” was established with the
passage of the 1937 Housing Act.
Since 1937, a variety of housing
programs have been designed and
funded by the federal government
and implemented by local public
housing authorities, non-profit
corporations and private developers.
These programs are largely funded
by federal tax dollars appropriated
on an annual basis to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). |
