You have a once in a decade opportunity to shape the future of housing in your Community!
Since 1969, Housing Elements have been a mandatory chapter of local General Plans in California. A Housing Element provides an analysis of a community’s housing needs for all income levels and strategies to provide for those needs. Updates are required every eight years. Our current element is for the 2015-2023 planning period; our updated element will be for 2023-2031.
Our updated Housing Element will plan for the types and number of homes we need by 2031, which is defined by
RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation). The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments has released the draft RHNA plan for 2023-2031, showing a need for 1,125 additional housing units in Pacific Grove. While the City of Pacific Grove doesn't build these homes, we ensure that rules are updated and programs are created so they can be built.
Our updated Housing Element will include goals, policies, programs, and objectives to guide housing growth in Pacific Grove to meet our RHNA and related housing needs. For more information,
check out this video.
Creating a more affordable future is important to all of us. We encourage you to read about "Why Affordability Matters" in the
Welcome Home Strategy we completed in 2021.

Questions & Answers
Why you should get involved?
Many people in our community find it difficult or impossible to find housing that meets their needs. Rising rents and home prices along with limited housing choices means that many people who grow up in Pacific Grove end up having to leave and live elsewhere, and the vast majority of people who work in Pacific Grove - teaching our kids, helping run the City, or working in the many restaurants, stores, golf courses, and hotels that are the core of our economy - have to commute in, some from long distances. The cost of our housing shortage is high - economically, environmentally, and socially.
What happens next?
Through the second half of 2022 and early 2023, we will be hosting opportunities to review information, provide input on housing needs, and give feedback that will shape the updated housing element. We will have a strong focus on analyzing and understanding "fair housing" - helping ensure that our housing plan creates equitable opportunities for all.
Once a Draft Housing Element is ready in early 2023, it will be released for public review and discussed at the community, Council, and Commission meetings. It then must be submitted to the state for review to ensure compliance with state laws, and then adopted and certified. Then more work gets underway to implement the housing element's priorities!
After the Housing Element is certified by the state, it becomes part of Pacific Grove's General Plan - guiding our growth and development over the next 8 years. For Pacific Groves Housing Element Work Plan, Click Here.
