Please contact Sophia Huckabay, Housing Manager, for more information.
For information on how to get your proposed development approved and entitled, please visit the Planning Division’s webpage.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) administers more than 20 programs that award loans and grants for the construction, acquisition, rehabilitation and preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing.
Contra Costa County's Department of Conservation and Development facilitates the development of affordable housing by making available a number of different financing options, including local Measure X funds. Typically, awards are made once per year as part of the annual cycle of Local/Federal/State funding awards.
Measure X Housing Fund
About the Measure X Housing Fund
Administered through Contra Costa County's Department of Conservation and Development, Measure X is a countywide 20-year, ½ cent sales tax approved by Contra Costa County voters on November 3, 2020; collection of the tax began on April 1, 2021.
On November 16, 2021, the County Board of Supervisors approved Measure X funding for a new Housing Fund. Beginning in 2023, Measure X will provide up to $12M million annually for housing and related services across Contra Costa County.
