Statement from the Department of Housing and Community Development:
"The County of Ventura's 2021-2029 Housing Element was adopted by the County of Ventura Board of Supervisors on October 12, 2021, and was certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development on December 22, 2021."
The County of Ventura's 2021-2029 Housing Element was adopted by the County of Ventura Board of Supervisors on October 12, 2021, and was certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development on December 22, 2021.
The housing element is a mandated element of the General Plan and must address the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community, either a city or county. The purpose of the housing element is to identify the community's housing needs; state the community's goals and objectives with regard to housing production, rehabilitation, and conservation to meet those needs; and define the policies and programs that the community will implement to achieve the stated goals and objectives. The State mandates housing element updates every eight years.
The County’s Housing Element consists of two documents: this chapter of the General Plan and Chapter 5 in the Background Report. The Background Report is designed to meet state housing element technical requirements and to provide the demographic and local information and analysis to support the goals, policies, programs, and objectives as listed in this chapter associated with the State’s latest planning period, October 15, 2021 to October 15, 2029.
