Subject: Discussion of the Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Recommended Action
Provide input on the Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element Update.
Executive Summary
On November 19, 2020, a special joint meeting between the Housing Commission and HEAC was held to
present the Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element and to enable both the Housing Commission and HEAC to
concurrently receive an introduction to the draft plan. The purpose of the introduction was to orient the
Housing Commission and HEAC to the structure and content of the document. Commission and committee
members asked several clarifying questions and provided some initial comments on the draft Housing
Element, with an understanding that a fuller discussion of the document would occur at subsequent meetings
on November 30 (HEAC), December 3 (Housing Commission), and December 14 (HEAC).
This meeting provides HEAC the opportunity to review the document, receive public comment, and discuss
and give feedback, paying particular attention to the Housing Plan goals, policies and programs (Section 10.7
of the element). Staff and consultants will work to make revisions based on feedback and direction received
before the HEAC’s last meeting on December 14, 2020. It is then anticipated that the HEAC will be able to
consider all comments and feedback received and consider authorizing the submittal of the draft Housing
Element to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for initial state review.
