Santa Barbara City Council unanimously moved forward on Tuesday with eight drafted Housing Element Goals, the city’s road map to how it will meet the state allocation of 8,001 units by 2031.

And how would the city meet the newly added goal of developing a “permanent source of local funding” for deed-restricted affordable housing?
