The chronic lack of affordable housing in Santa Cruz is a multi-dimensional problem, with multiple roots and ramifications. As such it requires multiple solutions. We concur with the many affordable housing scholars, developers, and activists who have framed these solutions in terms of “the 3 P’s” that will be necessary to alleviate the crisis. This includes:
• Production of new affordable housing
• Preservation of existing affordable housing
• Protection of tenants, so they can afford their rents, avoid displacement, and defend their rights
