City of Berkeley Affordable Housing
Client: City of Berkeley
Location: Berkeley, California
The City of Berkeley, despite the adoption of progressive
policies governing housing choice and cost,
continues to suffer from a shortage of affordable housing. However, the City has recently seen an uptick in
proposals for below-market rate housing developments,
partly as a result of the federal government’s economic
stimulus efforts, which are directing funding to affordable
and other community development efforts. City
staff recently selected LSA to prepare NEPA documentation
for four such projects, listed below. LSA prepared
customized NEPA documentation for each project that
fulfilled the environmental review requirements of the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
This environmental documentation was used to support
a Categorical Exclusion or Finding of No Significant
Impact for each project and to help each developer
secure project financing.
Individual projects include the following:
- 1200 Ashby Avenue mixed-use project
- Amistad House project
- Erna P. Harris Court project
- Harmon Gardens project.
