Housing

The State of California has declared the availability of housing of statewide importance to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the state and it is the policy of the state to provide a decent home and suitable living environment for every California family. The mission of the Housing Division is to encourage a range of housing opportunities to support the Clayton community and is responsible for creating, preserving, and managing the City’s supply of affordable housing. The Housing Division achieves its goals through the implementation of the City Council’s policies within the City’s Housing Element, which include working to facilitate the private development of new affordable ownership and rental housing and implementing the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
