Resources

Down below are City resources I have found useful, and have called upon to get information      All done by my own experience with having a precious apartment complex sitting pretty behind my backyard.    
They cover who to call, where to get data, and where to lodge violations, amongst other things.

*WARNING*  There'll be so much here, you'll wish you didn't have to deal with it.     
Four years ago, I knew nothing.

These three sites show various mapping, from sources partially provided by SD County

"Affordable Housing Inventory" (CouOSD)

The site link highlights the County of San Diego’s affordable housing inventory, including Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) categorized by housing status. It shows development and unit counts across key stages—from pipeline to existing—offering a clear view of progress and overall inventory. All affordable housing developments included in this dataset were partially funded by the County and provide rent‑restricted housing for individuals who qualify under various programs and income levels.

California Policy Lab

The findings suggest that affordability plays a major role in Californians’ relocation decisions. Californians who leave move to much more affordable areas and see large increases in homeownership, on average. At the same time, the data show how more people continue to leave the state than choose to move here, a gap that is reshaping California’s population.

"Affordable Housing Map" (CouOSD)

All of the affordable housing developments displayed on this map were partially funded by the County of San Diego and offer rent-restricted housing for people who qualify under a variety of programs and income levels. The developments categorized as Existing conform to the state of California’s accessibility requirements as of the date of their construction completion. Search for regional affordable housing developments using one of the following methods: • Use the search bar to search by Name, City, Zip, Unit Type, Population, or AMI • Use the sort feature to sort by Name or Existence • Use the filter icon to set one or more parameters and slide the button(s) to activate
