Inclusionary Housing
The City
of West Sacramento has implemented an inclusionary housing program to
increase the amount
of affordable housing in the City and to promote
the development of mixed-income communities. The program requires developers
of all new
residential projects to include at least 15% of
their units as affordable to lower and moderate-income households.
For more detailed information on the City’s inclusionary housing program and
policies, click on one of the following links:

The inclusionary housing program creates homeownership opportunities for low and moderate-income households by requiring developers to provide affordable homes in each new residential project. If you are interested in purchasing an affordable home, the first step is to apply to the City for verification of your household income. You can download the application form required for income verification at the link below. The current income limits used to qualify applicants for the inclusionary housing program are available on this form. This document also contains important information for homebuyers regarding the occupancy and re-sale restrictions of owning an affordable home, including "Frequently Asked Questions" about the program.
Fill out and return the application form along with the required income documentation. Also, read the information guide and keep it for your reference. After about 1-2 weeks you will receive a letter from the City stating the income level of your household. You may then take this letter to the sales offices of projects in West Sacramento with affordable homes for sale. A list of current inclusionary housing projects is also available below.
