This database contains inclusionary housing policies, e.g. ordinances, zoning, or information from General Plans Housing Elements, for cities and counties in California. The database provides summaries of policy characteristics for each city and county. Users may search for these summaries by geographical location, jurisdiction name or by more than 30 other characteristics or criteria. For example, users can use our geographical portal to search for jurisdictions with an inclusionary housing policy within specific counties, regions or the entire state. Alternatively, users could search for inclusionary housing policies based on common characteristics such all jurisdictions with population between 50,000 and 100,000 that have mandatory ordinances, require 15% to 20% of units be affordable to low- and moderate-income households, and allow land dedications or payment of in-lieu fees. In addition, each summary provides a link to the jurisdiction's full policy. A glossary defines key terms.
