The County of San Diego retained LDC to produce the Housing Blueprint, a strategic vision to guide the County’s efforts to address the housing crisis. The Blueprint is focused on a set of 8 strategies to achieve the aims of the 5 Ps solutions framework to promote equity, inclusion, and sustainability, produce housing for all, preserve vulnerable housing, protect tenants, and prevent displacement.

LDC worked with the County for one year to prepare the Blueprint, relying on a robust stakeholder process that occurred in parallel to the professional assessment of the County’s housing programs and policies, its barriers and opportunities to achieving the 5 Ps goals, as well as exploring financing for middle-income housing working group of finance and development professionals.

In addition to creating a robust Housing Blueprint plan, LDC’s work resulted in a data-driven performance evaluation plan, an interactive affordable housing development funding projection tool, and guidance for the creation of a new Office of Housing Strategy to carry forward the implementation of the Blueprint.
