The Housing Element is required to identify and analyze existing and projected housing needs, and include statements of the City’s goals, policies, quantified objectives, and programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing.  In adopting its Housing Element, the City must consider local conditions and context, including economic, environmental, and fiscal factors, as well as community goals as set forth elsewhere in the General Plan.
