Ep. 20 Santa Fe County Land Use & Affordable Housing Explained with Alexandra Ladd

In this episode of Housing Matters, host Roman "Tiger" Abeyta sits down with Alexandra Ladd, Director of Santa Fe County's Growth Management Department, to talk about her transition from leading the City of Santa Fe's Office of Affordable Housing to her current role overseeing land use at the county. Alexandra breaks down what inclusionary zoning actually means, how city and county rules differ, and why collaboration between government, nonprofits, and private developers is essential to solving the affordable housing puzzle. She also shares an exciting upcoming county-city partnership project, and explains why understanding the full "continuum of housing need" — from renters to homeowners — is key to building a truly sustainable community.  Learn more about The Housing Trust: https://www.housingtrustonline.org/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/santafehousingtrust?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&stkn=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==
