Advocates for Affordable Homes in Encinitas
We are local residents who advocate for the building of affordable homes in Encinitas for our seniors, our millennial and family residents as well as for our essential workers, who are commuting long distances or finding difficult living situations in order to stay here in the city they serve. These are our adult children, parents, grandparents, friends and co-workers.
What affects one part of our region affects us all. When housing costs are high, people spend too much time commuting from home to work. More affordable homes in Encinitas make sure that people can live where they work, which means less traffic and cleaner air for all.
We are all in this together, as wages do not keep up with fast rising rents and housing prices, workers that we depend upon are priced out of our expensive real estate market. Without a diverse workforce, our hometown character suffers. Our city’s vitality depends upon providing affordable homes for our seniors, workers and families.
Together, we support a more inclusive and sustainable Encinitas.
