LeaseBase Housing Foundation focuses its programs on the regions where small, independent landlords are most concentrated, where affordable housing loss is most acute, and where our programs can have the greatest measurable impact.
We serve the greater Sacramento region and key Central Valley and Bay Area markets where naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) — rental housing that is affordable not because of a subsidy, but because rents haven’t reached market peaks — faces the greatest displacement pressure.
Independent landlords in each of these markets face distinct regulatory environments, rent levels, and housing market conditions. Our region pages provide local context, relevant local ordinances, and community-specific resources.
