Housing Programs
Housing Element Action Database
This database includes housing programs from the 6th Cycle Housing Elements (2023–2031) of 84* Bay Area jurisdictions. These programs reflect the policy commitments jurisdictions have made to produce affordable housing, preserve existing homes, and protect residents from displacement—key strategies for meeting housing goals and advancing fair housing. Use the tool to explore these programs by program category, jurisdiction, or fair housing focus. Whether you're tracking regional trends, identifying shared priorities, or looking for examples to replicate in your own community, this tool is designed to support your work.
NOTE: Sorting and filtering features may be limited on mobile devices. For the best experience exploring the housing program data, we recommend using a desktop.

About the Database
This database was developed by Public Advocates and the Housing Element Working Group to support housing advocates, local governments, and regional stakeholders in analyzing the 6th Cycle Housing Element programs across the Bay Area.
*The database includes 84 of the Bay Area's 109 jurisdictions. Some jurisdictions are not included due to the unavailability or incompleteness of their Housing Element data at the time of compilation.
