City Needs Your Input On Its Housing Element

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA —The City is updating its Housing Element and needs community input.

The Housing Element describes the city’s needs, goals, policies, objectives, and programs
regarding the preservation, improvement, and development of housing within
Manhattan Beach, according to a prepared city document. The Element analyzes community housing needs in terms of affordability, availability, adequacy, and accessibility, and describes the City’s strategy and programs to address those needs.

The Housing Element is the city’s response to a growing awareness of the need to
provide housing for all economic segments of the community, as well as a legal
requirement for all California jurisdictions. It provides Manhattan Beach with the
opportunity to plan for the existing and future housing needs in the community.

Residents are invited to join the Community Development Department for a virtual Stakeholder’s Workshop on Tuesday, August 31, at 5:30 p.m. via Zoom.

Local officials want to hear the community's thoughts about the update required by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
