COG Housing Program Overview
Meeting Regional Housing Needs In the Gateway Cities
The Gateway Cities subregion is home to over two million people. Many of the Gateway Cities have measured population densities that rival or exceed major US cities, like New York and San Francisco. Of the over 300,000 households in the subregion with income levels that classify them as moderate, low, very low or extremely low income, over a third pay more than 50% of their income for housing. The majority of these households are renters. In response to this need, our regional body sponsors convenings and provides information to help our members and other interested stakeholders to understand, and to respond.
