HOUSING FOR ALL is a new initiative for the City of Largo that will explore opportunities to encourage and realize a wide variety of housing types throughout the City. With rising costs, now is a critical time to set city policies and standards to ensure the housing supply meets the needs of various households and supports a high quality of life for our community. This project advances Largo’s Strategic Plan to build a community of safe & healthy neighborhoods.
It includes:
- A housing needs analysis with projections over the next 10 years
- Evaluation of City codes as well as model codes from other jurisdictions
- Recommended code changes that allow different types/scale of housing to serve various housing needs
- Graphic depictions on model sites in Largo to visually explain the potential changes
- The City of Largo
- Partners for Economic Solutions - Consultant Team Lead/Housing Analysis & Policy
- Dover, Kohl & Partners - Engagement/Urban Design and Town Planning
