Preserving Single-Family Homes: Acquiring and maintaining affordability for future generations, preventing displacement, and preserving neighborhood character.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): Small secondary units added to existing properties.
Lot Splits: Dividing larger lots to create additional modest-sized homes.
Small-Scale Multifamily Conversion: Converting single-family homes into duplexes or triplexes where zoning permits.
These efforts increase affordable housing while respecting neighborhood character, fostering diverse and inclusive communities.
The OHT focuses on developing higher-density urban properties near transit, jobs, schools, and amenities to create affordable housing options such as:
Multifamily Homeownership: Affordable duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes in urban areas.
Townhomes: Family-friendly homes that balance density with private space.
Below-Market Rentals: Affordable apartments in amenity-rich neighborhoods, preserving long-term accessibility for lower-income households.
