UPDATE: Review letter received from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). You can view the letter by clicking here.

City staff and its consultant team have been working with the Housing Element Update Advisory Committee (HEUAC), Planning Commission, City Council, and the community over the past 20 months to prepare an initial draft of the updated General Plan Housing Element. As a reminder, this effort is required by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in response to the 6^th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation of 4,845 new housing units for Newport Beach. For information on how the City has challenged this mandate, please visit www.newportbeachca.gov/housingactionplan.
