Santa Fe County Affordable Housing Plan

SITES prepared an affordable housing plan for Santa Fe County to better understand local housing needs and identify strategies to expand housing opportunities across the region. The plan includes a community and housing profile, an assessment of existing and future housing needs, an evaluation of land use barriers, and recommendations for programs that support affordable housing development.

Through this process, SITES helped clarify how different types of housing needs affect the Santa Fe area and why each requires tailored and sometimes bold strategies. The team worked closely with County staff, developers, and service providers to define these needs and pinpoint the root issues shaping the local housing market.

Following a detailed review of regulatory barriers and development challenges, SITES produced a comprehensive set of immediate and long-term strategies to encourage the construction and preservation of affordable housing throughout the County.
