The City of San Bruno Community and Economic Development Department is looking for bright and enthusiastic summer interns to work with the Planning and Housing Manager in developing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a qualified consultant firm to administer the City’s Affordable Housing Program.  Currently, the City has approximately $3.8 Million in the affordable housing in-lieu fund.  The fee was established is 2008 and applies to both residential and nonresidential development projects.  Because of the significant cost to implement new affordable housing projects and the affordable housing fees not being adequate to fund such a project, the City has not yet programmed the funds. In November 2019, City Council appropriated $70,000 of the affordable housing fund to hire a consulting firm to conduct research and develop a plan and implementation alternatives, including policy options and funding opportunities, for the programming of the funds in the future.  A review of the City’s development pipeline forecasts a potentially significant amount of affordable housing in-lieu and/or commercial linkage fees to be collected within the next few years.  The City is looking for individuals to assist in selecting the consultant firm to prepare an implementation plan to ensure the funds are programmed effectively. 

This will be a rewarding and valuable experience for those who are interested in the planning and related field and desire introductory work experience.
