State law requires cities and counties to update their General Plan Housing Elements every five years in order to periodically address the changing housing needs of their communities and to establish action plans to meet those goals. Based on Chapter 10.6 of the Government Code, the Housing Element addresses housing needs of the city and recommends ways to meet these needs while balancing community objectives and resources.
