The City of Long Beach is updating its Housing Element and needs your help. The Housing Element sets goals, policies and programs to ensure that the City can meet the housing needs of all Long Beach residents and households over the next eight years, as required by state law.
 
 The Housing Element provides the City with a roadmap for accommodating the more than 26,000 units needed to adequately house existing and future City residents through the year 2029 and guides future decisions that impact housing. In the current housing and economic climate, the Housing Element will focus on:
 
  • Removing barriers to housing production to offset current housing shortages,
  • Addressing homelessness and displacement, and
  • Ensuring the availability and fair distribution of affordable housing throughout the City.
