East Palo Alto joins a county study on affordable housing, boosting rental aid and enforcement amid rising evictions.
East Palo Alto has joined a San Mateo County-wide study to assess its affordable housing policies, including its 2019 Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requiring 20% of new units to be affordable, with a $85,000 city contribution and findings expected by November 2026.
The city will also allocate $1.1 million annually from Measure JJ tax funds starting January 2026 to provide rental aid, foreclosure prevention, and legal services, with nonprofits receiving funding for eviction defense and housing support.
Rising evictions linked to rent nonpayment, illegal hikes, and unsafe conditions have driven the urgency, with the council approving expanded rental assistance and shorter contracts to ensure accountability.
