2023-2031 Fremont Housing Element:
An eight-year plan to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community
Under State law, all local governments in California are required to adequately plan to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community by adopting a Housing Element as part of their General Plan. State law also requires that local governments update their Housing Elements every eight years to periodically address the changing housing needs of their communities, establish action plans to meet those goals, and report on progress toward meeting those goals.
All local jurisdictions in the Bay Area, including the City of Fremont, are currently preparing to update their Housing Elements. Bay Area jurisdictions must adopt an updated Housing Element by January 2023 to plan for the housing needs for the next eight-year Housing Element Planning Period (2023-2031). The 2023-2031 Fremont Housing Element will include the following:
- A detailed analysis of Fremont's demographic, economic ,and housing characteristics
- A comprehensive analysis of constraints to producing and preserving housing
- A review of the City’s progress in implementing housing policies and programs from the current 2015-2023 Housing Element
- An identification of goals, objectives, and policies, in addition to a full list of programs that will implement the vision of the plan
- A list of sites that could accommodate new housing, demonstrating the City’s ability to meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
