Capitol Area Development Auth

CADA is a joint powers authority between the State of California and the City of Sacramento created to implement the plans and objectives of the State Capitol Area Plan, as directed by the State of California and the City of Sacramento. The Capitol Area Plan is a mixed-use plan for the management, development and disposition of state-owned property located directly south and east of the State Capitol and Capitol Park in the City of Sacramento. CADA has been specifically designated to implement the housing and support retail goals of the Capitol Area Plan. The Capitol Area Plan legislation sets a population goal of 3,500 residents living in housing built for a variety of incomes.
