YES! to Downtown Library Mixed-Use Project

Many years of community participation and city staff work have resulted in a complex and remarkable plan for lots of affordable housing, shared parking, a welcoming library, and a daycare center.

The Santa Cruz City Council will be reviewing the current plans and budget for this project at an upcoming meeting. Let's keep this moving forward!

The City of Santa Cruz desperately needs more affordable housing. Since the project inception, the number of affordable housing units has more than doubled, and the amount of parking has been reduced.

The current project will result in no net new parking and facilitate the construction of more affordable housing on other lots downtown. Given the approximately 12,000 people on the Housing Authority List, the need for more affordable housing is urgent!
