Affordable Housing in Davis

The City of Davis has a long-standing commitment to affordable housing. Since the late 1980s, the City has required inclusionary housing, and in 1990 adopted an ordinance mandating affordable rental and ownership units for households ranging from extremely low (30% AMI) to moderate (120% AMI) incomes.

The City’s Municipal Code includes these requirements in Chapter 18, covering affordable owner-occupied housing (18.04) and affordable housing development standards (18.05).

Davis’ program is notable for its diversity of housing types—affordable homes and apartments for rent and purchase, mixed-income and fully affordable communities, cooperative housing, senior housing, and supportive housing for residents with special needs.
