Based on community, Planning Commission, and City Council input, the City has developed a Draft 2023-2031 Housing Element that identifies how the City can accommodate 7,015 housing units over the next 8 years and establishes goals, policies and programs to help address the current and future housing needs within the City while affirmatively further fair housing policies. It is an important document that will guide future decisions about housing and sets forth an action plan to implement housing goals in the next eight years.
The City Council held a public hearing to receive community input and consider the Draft Housing Element. The Draft Housing Element is available for public review at City Hall and online at https://www.cityofsanmateo.org/4478/Housing-Element-2023-2031.
