Escondido Affordable Housing Trust Fund — Developer Impact Fees

JRJoel Ressel4/1/2026

Problem Statement

Escondido's median home price has risen 68% since 2019 while median household income grew only 12%. Rental vacancy rates are below 2%, and over 4,200 households spend more than 50% of their income on housing. The city has approved multiple luxury developments while affordable housing production has stalled. Meanwhile, developers who benefit from city approvals contribute to council campaigns, creating a perception that housing policy favors profit over people.
