Density Bonus Programs

Density Bonus Programs allow developers to build more housing than normally permitted under zoning laws if they include affordable units. Essentially, these programs offer developers extra building capacity—such as taller or larger buildings—in exchange for providing affordable housing options. The goal is to encourage the development of affordable homes and address housing shortages while balancing community interests. These incentives make it financially feasible for developers to include affordable units, promoting inclusive growth within communities.
