Santa Barbara County's 2009-2014 Housing Element Update

Santa Barbara County's 2009-2014 Housing Element Update

NOTE: Review Per Lead The proposed project includes an update to the County's Comprehensive General Plan Housing Element for the 2009-14 planning period. The purpose of the update is to both keep the County's Housing Element in compliance with State law and to provide an improved set of housing goals, policies, and programs intended to address the County's housing needs for the five year period from 2009 until 2014. The Housing Element is updated every five years to identify current demographic and employment trends that may affect existing and future housing demand, to refine programs and policies that support the State's housing goals, and to address barriers that result in market failures and ineffective planning. This update focuses particular attention to the housing needs of extremely low, very low, low, moderate, and workforce income households, as well as special needs groups (such as the homeless, disabled, and elderly).
