Preparation and periodic update of the housing element is required by state law; and thus,the element reflects the state's housing goal of"attaining decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family," as well as a reflection of the unique concerns of the community. State law establishes a series of very specific requirements as to the scope,content, and process by which a housing element is updated and adopted, including review and approval(known as certification)by the State Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD)by January 2023. • Status Approved • Next Steps/Details: The Draft Housing Element was submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD) in August.
