City of Willows 2009 Housing Element

City of Willows 2009 Housing Element

The Draft City of Willows 2009 Housing Element is designed to address the projected housing needs of current and future City residents and to comply with state law requiring amendment of the Housing Element every 5 years (Section 65580-65589.8 of the Government Code). The 2009 Housing Element is the City's policy document guiding the provision of housing to meet income households. The City of Willows Housing Element is based on 4 strategic goals: (1) creating housing opportunities for current and future residents, (2) preserving neighborhoods and improving the housing stock, (3) addressing special needs groups, and (4) encouraging energy conservation. Willows recognizes the need for additional housing affordable to very low-, low-, and moderate-income households as the population grows and the need to accommodate existing residents who do not have suitable, affordable housing. The 2009 Housing Element identifies the policies and programs which the City will implement to ensure that housing in Willows is affordable, safe, and decent. The proposed Housing Element addresses housing needs by encouraging the provision of an adequate quantity of sites designated for multi-family housing, by assisting in affordable housing development, and through the preservation and maintenance of existing affordable housing stock.
