Housing Action Package 2.0

The City of San Diego remains committed to providing Homes for All of Us. Housing Action Package 1.0 adopted in February 2022, included new programs and code revisions to incentivize construction of new homes at all income levels. Housing Action Package 2.0 adopted in December 2023, continues the commitment to create regulations that encourage the development of homes for San Diego’s diverse population. Both Housing Action Packages incentivize and promote new home opportunities in all communities that San Diegans of all income levels can afford.
