Policy Development & Advocacy

Developing and advocating for housing and real estate development policy will be an important role for the Redevelopment Agency to play. Striking a balance between attracting investors, generating local value, and meeting economic development, sustainability, and affordability goals should be a focus of our efforts.

Preserve & Expand Affordable Housing

Support the Development of a Citywide Affordable Housing Plan

Norwalk’s Affordable Housing Plan ought to call for expanding workforce housing options, preserving existing affordable housing, and creating new affordable housing.

Increase & Diversify Housing Supply

Develop and Maintain a Citywide Affordable Housing Inventory

Aid in the development of a Citywide Affordable Housing Inventory that addresses issues of housing affordability, restricted supply of housing, and diversity of housing products available on the market.

Comprehensive Zoning Reform

Support the City in its efforts to rewrite Norwalk’s zoning ordinance to provide for real estate market demands and meet the housing demands of people priced out of the market. Zoning reform could help encourage Mixed-Use and Transit-Oriented Development, Micro-Units, and Live-Work Units.
