Every eight years, the state determines how much and what kind of housing each city in California needs to build to meet growing population demands. The allotment, known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), renews this year and requires cities across the state to plan for the development of far more housing than ever before.
What does this mean for Walnut Creek? Find out on November 9 when Matt Regan, Senior Vice President of Public Policy at the Bay Area Council is joined by Andrew Smith, Senior Planner at the City of Walnut and Kristin Connelly, President & CEO of the East Bay Leadership Council in a riveting conversation moderated by Edward Del Beccaro, Executive Vice President San Francisco Bay Area at TRI Commercial.
