| |  Housing Elements Review More housing element certifications (or nearly) are rolling in: In the past two weeks, the state Department of Housing and Community Development deemed Portola Valley and Foster City to be in substantial compliance with state housing element law. That means more than 50% of San Mateo County jurisdictions are now in substantial compliance with state law. As housing elements increasingly comply, HLC is looking ahead toward policy implementation. Every housing element contains policy commitments–rezoning, publicly owned land, tenant protections, and more!–that can meaningfully facilitate more affordable homes and protect tenants. In order to help local advocates monitor their cities’ policy commitments and support city staff, HLC is developing a housing element policy tracker. We are looking for volunteers who can take the lead on filling in policy priorities for your cities. Contact HLC policy manager Jeremy Levine at jlevine@hlcsmc.org if you’re interested in learning more about how you can help! |
