The mayor of Poway is proposing the city build granny flats at its own expense in the backyards of willing property owners as part of a novel way to address the region's affordable housing crisis. Mayor Steve Vaus says the program, dubbed HOMES (Homes On My Extra Space), could become a model for other cities seeking to boost their housing stock to serve low-income renters and homeowners. He is suggesting the city, one of the wealthier communities in San Diego County, begin with five to 10 units as a pilot project.
