And that there are not enough affordable
rental homes for working families?
The shortfall is over 3000 homes.
EDCOE estimates that there are 631 students in our county that do not have secure housing.
ADVOCACY AT WORK
Housing El Dorado has provided ongoing advocacy at the Placerville City Council and the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors to build affordable housing to meet the needs of our community. We have also assisted in connecting the City of Placerville and El Dorado County with affordable housing developers for new projects. So far, these efforts have contributed to the approval of seven new major affordable housing projects over the past 24 months. These projects will result in approximately 650 new units of affordable workforce housing on the Western Slope. Housing El Dorado continues this important advocacy work.
