A State Senator representing much of the Central and South Coasts introduced legislation intended to help create more affordable housing for seniors.
SB 62 by Democratic State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson of Santa Barbara would create an Affordable Senior Housing Program. The program would work through the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development to help with issues like location, funding, and permitting.
Jackson says the legislation was inspired by a unique senior housing project developed as a private-public partnership in the Santa Ynez Valley.
