Research workforce housing program for police, firefighters, and teachers
In Plain English
City staff will study whether Richmond can create a program to help public safety workers and teachers afford housing locally. Many cities struggle to recruit and retain these essential employees because housing costs exceed their salaries. If approved, staff will report back with options like down payment assistance or deed-restricted affordable units.
