Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
General Plan Amendment GPA21-0002/2021-2029 Housing Element: Recommending the adoption of the revised Housing Element to the Board of Supervisors as required by California Government Code, Section 65580. This State statute requires the adoption of the Housing Element no later than September 10, 2021, or the County risks eligibility for future state and federal funding opportunities. The draft Housing Element was forwarded to the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) for review on June 7, 2021. The County has received comments from HCD and will coordinate with the State department over the next several months on any revisions necessary to ensure certification of the Element.
