The Committee to House the Bay Area

The Committee to House the Bay Area (also known as CASA) is a planning initiative convened by the Bay Area's Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

"CASA brings together leaders from across the Bay Area to build an actionable political consensus around increasing housing production at all levels of affordability, preserving existing affordable housing and protecting vulnerable populations from housing instability and displacement."
