What is the Housing Element?

What is the Housing Element?

By Brittney Sherman

Join us in shaping the future of housing in Morgan Hill!

The City is in the process of updating the Housing Element of the General Plan for the 2023-2031 period as required by State law. The Housing Element establishes policies and programs to address Morgan Hill’s existing and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the community. The first step in this process is to ask community members what they see as Morgan Hill’s most important housing needs. Please complete this 10 question survey HERE to provide us with your input. All responses are confidential.

We encourage you to be a part of the housing conversation by attending the Housing Element Plan Virtual Townhall Meeting on Thursday February 10th @ 530PM. The meeting will include discussions on the existing and upcoming Housing Element, housing needs of the city, the cities Sites Inventory, housing policies, and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) requirements. Review all 2021 Housing Conversation Workshops HERE.
