Housing Element
The Housing Element is a section of the City’s General Plan that looks at housing needs and conditions within Glendale, and which identifies goals, policies and programs that the City uses to direct and guide actions related to housing. The City has completed the process of updating the Housing Element to ensure that we are prepared to meet the future housing needs of Glendale for the planning period from 2021 through 2029.
The 2021-2029 Housing Element has been found to be in substantial compliance with the State Housing Element Law by the California Housing & Community Development Department (HCD) as of February 27, 2023. The 6th Cycle Housing Element was first adopted by City Council on February 1, 2022, and was amended based on comments received by the HCD. The Glendale City Council readopted the Housing Element on December 6, 2022 and minor modifications were prepared in February 2023 in response to HCD's final comments.
