OPINION: Santa Cruz County shares 911 and libraries. Why not housing?
Santa Cruz County is losing its young families with children โ and local activist Kevin Norton says our fractured, agency-by-agency approach to housing is why. In a Community Voices op-ed, he offers up a new, collaborative approach to housing that he thinks will help families, teachers, first responders and others stay in our community. He believes we need to follow Orange County and the San Gabriel Valley and create a โjoint powers housing trustโ that allows cities, agencies and the county to work together โ and reduces the bureaucracy of applying for low-income housing. We coordinate for book lending and emergency services, he argues. Why not housing? Read Norton’s opinion piece here.
