Workforce housing projects easier to build in Roseville with state’s Prohousing Designation 

Affordable, or workforce, housing projects in Roseville will be easier for private developers to fund and build with the City’s earning of the Prohousing Designation from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). 

Workforce housing is designed to be affordable for families of four earning 80 percent of the area median income. In Roseville, this would mean earning up to $80,000 a year.

“This income level typically includes a broad variety of workers that serve our community, like teachers, tradespeople, police officers, and other entry level professionals,” said Roseville Development Services Director Mike Isom.

“Workforce housing provides more opportunities for people who work in the community to live in the community. There’s real value in that,” said Roseville Mayor Krista Bernasconi.
