A new report released by the California Housing Partnership and Enterprise Community Partners highlights the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program as one of California’s most powerful tools for simultaneously addressing the state’s housing crisis and its ambitious climate goals.
Since its inception in 2014, the AHSC program has invested $4 billion in 209 integrated housing and transportation projects across California. These developments have already created over 20,000 new affordable homes and are estimated to benefit nearly 280,000 households statewide. But the program’s impact goes far beyond housing—by reducing reliance on personal vehicles, expanding access to public transportation, and improving pedestrian and bike infrastructure, AHSC is also delivering significant environmental benefits.
