Attainable Housing Initiative
Regenerative California has been hard at work to create proof points for a regenerative economy in agriculture, the blue economy, and attainable housing.
Monterey’s 2025 Attainable Housing Initiative is a unique, community-driven initiative focused on activating a new pipeline of “missing middle” housing (80–150% AMI) by engaging builders and developers who are demonstrating how to bring costs down with landowners and employers who are ready to act.
We're hosting a forum in November to explore innovative financing approaches and accelerate projects from idea to implementation through a series of workshops and collaborative sprints - seeding pilot projects that will create 3,000 local attainable housing units by 2030.
On September 29, Regenerative California hosted a virtual conversation about Attainable Housing in Monterey and the upcoming Working Forum happening November 6-7 at Asilomar. Click here or on the video above to learn more.
