Frequently Asked Questions

Before the project moves forward, the Davis City Council must approve the final Environmental Analysis (EIR), and then be approved by Davis voters in an upcoming ballot election. The project is going to be built out in phases (please see the application to the City for additional details).

There are three types of affordable housing options:

  • 60 large family (three and four bedroom) income restricted Section 8 apartments. 
  • 240 one, two and three bedroom incomes restricted very low and low income apartment homes.
  • 310 Starter Homes offered with a Developer Contribution Program that will effectively reduce the purchase price of a market-rate home and only require a 5% down payment.

The prices for the Starter Homes will be based upon the market rate for 800, 1000 and 1200 square foot homes, respectively. The actual cost to the buyer will be reduced as a part of the Developer Contribution Program.

All 310 starter homes are available to those who qualify. A portion of the homes may offer preference to Davis teachers and local workforce. While there are no income restrictions, home buyers will need to qualify for the loan for the reduced purchase price, and provide a 5% down payment. The remaining 15% down payment is paid through the Developer Contribution Program. In addition, the homes require homeowner occupancy for the first two years.

To be eligible for the Affordable Housing Program in Davis, you must apply with the City. For details please go to: https://www.cityofdavis.org/residents/affordable-housing-program

Market rate lots will be released for sale within each phase. Subscribe on this page to receive updates on the project.
