Latest Updates


In response to the direction given from the Fremont City Council to update the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance, City staff recently commissioned a Nexus Study to inform the decision-making process. The City retained the services of Keyser Marston Associates (KMA) to prepare the Nexus Study and an accompanying Financial Feasibility Study. KMA also prepared a separate Market Update Memo evaluating market trends during the COVID-19 pandemic. The draft studies, the memo, and a comparison table are available below:

The City hosted a virtual stakeholder meeting on October 29, 2020 to gather input on these documents. A public work session was also held with the City's Planning Commission on December 10, 2020.

Now, the Fremont City Council will hear a presentation on the Affordable Housing Nexus Study and the Financial Feasibility Study and will be asked to provide input on several policy questions. Please see details below:
