Abstract
If a city has a state approved housing element as part of its general plan and has provided dollars to aid in the construction of affordable housing, will that housing be constructed? This study will demonstrate that the answer to this question is "No." It will go on to demonstrate that "political will" - or lack thereof - plays the deciding factor in whether affordable housing is constructed in a city. This study focuses on a five-year old city - Elk Grove - located 15 miles south of Sacramento. This study will also provide assumptions about the factors that inhibit the political will in this city .
