When developers build new apartment or condominium buildings, the city can require them to help fund affordable housing as well; they can either include affordable units OR pay a fee (in-lieu fee) that goes into a fund for affordable housing. This study looks at whether the current system in Santa Barbara is working and how it can be improved.
