Lecture: The Missing Middle - Housing in SLO

CCGBC is proud to be an in-kind sponsor for the following event, 'The Missing Middle'

How can SLO encourage higher density housing that is affordable to middle class workers?

On January 20th, the second event in the series, Creating Missing Middle Housing, will bring Tony Perez, Senior Associate with Opticos Design, to San Luis Obispo. As our community and the entire state grapple with the need for affordable housing and housing in general, infill projects take a front row seat. Perez is a Missing Middle Housing expert who has worked with communities to establish and translate policy direction into clear and implementable development standards.

WHAT

Missing Middle Housing is a range of smaller units in multi-unit or clustered housing types, compatible in form and scale with single-family homes that help meet the growing demand for walkable urban living, respond to shifting household demographics and meet the need for more housing choices with a range of price points.
