Inclusionary Housing / Density Bonus Program
Campbell Affordable Housing Ordinance
The City of Campbell’s Inclusionary (Affordable) Housing Ordinance intends to increase the availability of affordable housing for very-low-income, low-income, and moderate-income households. Likewise, the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance encourages developers to build additional affordable housing units in exchange for allowing more market-rate units.
Priority is given to income-eligible existing Campbell residents (second) and income-eligible persons employed within the city limits of the City of Campbell (third). First priority (for up to 10% of all affordable units) is provided to income-eligible employees of the 'City of Campbell' per the Campbell Municipal Code. If you do not fall into one of the three priority categories, you may still be able to acquire an affordable unit if the City is not able to allocate the unit to a household that does have priority.
Annual income limits for Santa Clara County are based on household size and are updated annually by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The City of Campbell is excited to announce that we have received a Prohousing Designation from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This designation recognizes Campbell’s commitment to accelerating housing production, implementing housing-friendly policies, and making it easier to create more affordable housing options for all community members.
Campbell has a range of strategies and programs aimed at promoting housing development and enhancing livability in Campbell. These initiatives align with state goals to address California’s housing crisis, creating a more inclusive and accessible housing environment for current and future residents.
Benefits of a Prohousing Designation
Receiving a Prohousing Designation documents a jurisdiction’s commitment to removing obstacles to new housing and recognizes the work that has already been done by a jurisdiction to address California’s severe housing shortage and affordability crisis. This designation helps Campbell receive priority processing or funding points when applying for several funding programs, including Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC), Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG), Transformative Climate Communities (TCC), and more.
