Board of Directors:
Doug Garrison, EdD Dear Members of the Sebastopol City Council, Board Chair
We're writing on behalf of Habitat for Humanity of Sonoma County to express our Chuck McPherson
Vice Chair appreciation for the City of Sebastopol's leadership in implementing its Housing Element and advancing practical, people-centered housing solutions.
Adam Belter
Treasurer We support the proposed consideration and potential adoption of AB 1033, which would allow ADUs to be sold separately as condominiums. This approach would Steve Kent
Secretary create small-scale homeownership opportunities without rezoning or sprawl, while establishing clear, objective standards that protect homeowners, buyers, and Kristen Kerns neighborhoods.
Henry Loh II
Here at Habitat for Humanity, we see how challenging it is for families, seniors, Maia Lomax and first-time buyers to find an affordable home to purchase. Expanding homeownership options through infill housing would help people remain in Rich Wallach Sebastopol as they age or start families and support long-term community stability.
