Sacramento Expands Streamline Program: Office-to-Housing Incentives and Small Business Accessibility Rebates Added
The Sacramento City Council, in Sacramento County, California, voted on November 10 to expand Streamline Sacramento, the streamlining program the city launched in 2025, adding two new incentives. The Adaptive Reuse Investment Incentive Program, under state law AB 507, will help office-to-housing conversion projects cover affordable housing costs, with funding for each project subject to separate council approval. The Small Business Accessibility Rebate Program will rebate $2,500 to $10,000, up to 50 percent of costs, for accessibility upgrades such as ramps, widened doorways, grab bars and accessible fixtures.
The expansion also simplifies approvals for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and housing projects, aiming to speed home building and help small businesses meet accessibility standards. Mayor Kevin McCarty said Streamline is meant to make housing and small commercial projects easier to deliver in Sacramento, putting vacant office space back to use while lowering the cost of compliance upgrades for storefront businesses.
Streamline Sacramento was launched in 2025 to simplify permitting and accelerate housing construction. The two new incentives extend the program to office conversions and small business accessibility work. (Source: City of Sacramento)
