Housing Updates In Danville, Town Talk Scheduled For April 1

DANVILLE, CA — Community members will be able to ask questions about Danville’s Housing Element Update at the next Town Talks with the Mayor event April 1.

Assistant Town Manager Tai Williams, Chief of Planning David Crompton and Deputy Development Services Director Diane Friedmann will join the mayor to discuss the town's housing plan and current phases of community outreach.

The Housing Element was put in place after the State of California declared a housing affordability crisis. The San Francisco Bay Area has to create a plan to add more affordable housing in an eight-year period. Where and how this can be done must be included in the plan and income has to be a factor in accommodating new housing.

Residents of Danville were previously asked to identify where they think housing could go through a Housing Site Suggestion Map. Danville is required to add 2,241 new homes in its plan.

April’s Town Talks with the Mayor starts at 9:00 a.m. on April 1. Follow this link to register. A recording of the talk as well as previous talks can be found here.
