Adopt updated 8-year housing plan required by state law
In Plain English
State law requires every California city to adopt a housing plan every 8 years. Richmond's current housing plan expires in January after covering 2015-2023. The new plan covers 2023-2031 and includes goals for building housing, addressing homelessness, and preventing displacement. If approved, the city meets the state deadline and avoids potential penalties.
