On September 15, City Planning and the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) released a revised draft of the 2021-2029 Housing Element, also known as the Plan to House LA. As cities across California expand alternative models for housing ownership, the housing elements of their general plans play an increasingly important role in directing those discussions.
The revised draft of the 2021-2029 Housing Element incorporates feedback from recent outreach meetings as well as initial comments provided by California’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The document also includes a list of sites that have been identified as potential candidates for rezoning (see Appendix 4.7), demonstrating to HCD that Los Angeles will have sufficient capacity to accommodate its Regional Housing Needs Assessment.
City Planning and LAHD held virtual public hearings on September 21 and 22. The revised plan will advance to the City Planning Commission on October 14, 2021 for their consideration, and shortly thereafter to the City Council for adoption.
