Share Your Housing Story 
  
While the 6th Cycle Housing Element is a housing policy document, housing is truly about the people! Housing access, affordability and quality plays a critical role in the health & quality of life of our residents. 
 
Your feedback is crucial to ensuring the update reflects the wants and need of the Long Beach community, so we want YOUR voice to be heard! 
 
There are two ways you can submit your story:
 
You can click on the link below, answer the questions and include a photo; or submit a video. If you chose to do a video, here's a couple of things to keep in mind: find a comfortable spot with good lighting, make sure to speak clearly and use the questions in the link to help guide you. 
 
Don't want to make a video? You can provide a written submission by filling out the form linked below. We hope you will include a photo, so we can better tell your story visually. 
 
If you prefer to share a photo, here are some ideas: a picture of your neighborhood/community, family members or an expression of how you feel about your current housing situation. 
 
 
We look forward to your submission and feedback!
