Title
Discussion and action to direct the City Manager to explore and develop a comprehensive set of anti-displacement strategies, tools, and policies grounded in best practices and tailored to El Paso’s context, with a particular focus on vulnerable neighborhoods experiencing emergent economic pressures, redevelopment activity, and/or rising housing costs. This framework may include, but is not limited to: tenant protections to the extent allowed by state law; preservation of naturally occurring affordable housing; income-targeted zoning and overlay tools; community ownership models such as community land trusts (CLTs), limited-equity housing cooperatives, tenant opportunity to purchase/right of first refusal programs, and community development corporations (CDCs); and other relevant strategies. Preliminary recommendations and potential implementation pathways shall be presented for Council consideration on a timeline consistent with the implementation of other forthcoming Goal 8 housing strategies.
