The Evergreen Team gathered a team of leaders/experts from the public, private, finance, legal, affordable housing, and real estate communities to think creatively, collaboratively, and differently about affordable housing. Our goal was to break down barriers, create bold ideas and approaches, and unleash the capacity of the private sector to build more affordable housing in our City and County. The result is this report with its eight (8) bold ideas, presented through the lens of the following guiding principles. We believe a key measure of who we are as a City and County is how we treat those in need and how we stand and act on affordable housing.
