San Diego Accepts Terms for 101 Ash Affordable Housing Units
What happened
The City of San Diego accepted the terms for the 101 Ash affordable housing deal on September 21, 2026. The project involves 249 affordable housing units, with the city committing $1 million per unit toward the acquisition and conversion costs. The city will receive $15,000 per year in rent from the units.
Why it matters
The acceptance of these terms is part of San Diego's broader density efforts under the Mid-City Development Plan. The deal follows an initial cost of roughly $100 million to taxpayers, which was incurred due to leadership failures in routine inspections and appraisals.
