The workshop will begin at 1:30 p.m. in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., to discuss the proposed Lake County Housing Element Update.
The housing element is an assessment of housing needs and issues facing the unincorporated areas of the county.
The Lake County Community Development Department and Housing Element Advisory Committee have been working together for the past year to complete an update of the Housing Element previously adopted in 2004.
The update includes information on special housing needs and constraints, existing housing stock conditions, future housing needs, and an inventory of local, state and federal housing and financing programs.
The update also includes an inventory of lands suitable for residential development and detailed goals, policies and implementation measures aimed at improving housing in Lake County.
This workshop will provide an opportunity for the public to come together and identify constraints and propose solutions to housing issues facing Lake County.
The public hearing is intended to be a workshop between the public, county staff, the Housing Element Advisory Committee and local decision-makers.
Community members are encouraged to participate in this dialogue and assist in providing suggestions and comments on the proposed housing element update.
Upon the determination of the Board of Supervisors that the document is adequate it will be submitted to the state of California, Department of Housing and Community Development for a 60-day review.
Upon completion of this review by the Department of Housing and Community Development, the housing element update will be scheduled for the Board of Supervisors consideration.
