Affordable Housing


As required by the City’s Housing Element, the Community Development Department maintains and annually updates the inventory of all affordable housing units within the City of Clayton.

The City does not maintain a waiting list of persons interested in occupying or purchasing an affordable housing unit in Clayton. If interested in such a possibility, it is recommended the affordable housing unit property owner be contacted directly to find out how to apply and/or be placed on their waitlist. For certain affordable housing units associated with the City’s financial support, the City must certify the annual income eligibility of any household pursing ownership of that affordable housing unit.
