In an effort to mitigate the local housing shortage, Santa Cruz City Council members are slated to discuss a possible Rent Freeze during their meeting this evening. Council members are also expected to look at how they can encourage the Santa Cruz Riverfront Association to keep its apartment complex on Blaine Street as a Section 8 subsidized housing project….as it has been for more than 3 decades. This evening’s meeting, that starts at 7 p.m., is slated to be held at Santa Cruz City Hall…..which is located at 809 Center Street.
