Social Services Commission - June 15, 2026

The City of Davis Social Services Commission held a meeting on June 15, 2026, focusing primarily on affordable housing projects and funding allocations. The commission reviewed and approved modifications to the affordable housing plan for the Lumberyard project at 4500 Key Street, increasing affordable units from 11 to 12 with adjustments to unit sizes and bedroom counts. The developer expressed optimism about securing final financing and beginning construction soon. Additionally, the commission approved a project at 1731 Research Drive to convert a mostly vacant commercial building into 23 residential units, including six affordable units, under California's SB 6 legislation. The meeting also included discussions on the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process for fiscal year 2017-2018, with commissioners considering forming a subcommittee to review and potentially improve funding distribution and grant processes for local nonprofits. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but policy and funding allocation discussions indicated ongoing efforts to support affordable housing and social services in the city.
