City Council Aiming for 500 Affordable Housing Units By 2025 or Sooner



Creating “workforce homes” that are within the means of middle-income families, e.g. teachers, police, firefighters, other city workers, has been discussed over for the last 2 years by the Council.

The number, 500, was recommended in the Palm Beach County Workforce Needs Assessment Package.

Discussions began in 2004 when the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce presented a “white paper” on affordable housing.

Proposals for developers are being discussed.
