Affordable Housing and Growth Management

By Cathie Brown

Candidate for Mayor; City of Livermore

This information is provided by the candidate
I am committed to providing housing that our working families can afford. We need to provide housing for our grown children, our teachers, our firefighters, our child care and other workers who can't afford to buy in Livermore. I will also continue to protect our agricultural heritage by supporting the creation of a permanent urban growth boundary.
Affordable housing is a serious issue. Under Cathie's leadership, the City started a new first-time homebuyer program and a lease-purchase program. The City also implemented an affordable housing ordinance, which requires developers to build 10 percent of their projects as affordable.

I will continue to protect our agricultural heritage by supporting the creation of a permanent urban growth boundary and preservation of open space. With the South Livermore Plan we doubled the size of Sycamore Grove Park, and thousands of acres of vineyards will be permanently protected.

Cathie leads the effort to achieve similar greenbelt protection to the north, east, and west.
