New State regulations require jurisdictions to make substantial changes to their Housing Elements. The draft Housing Element update incorporates these required changes. The draft housing elements contains:

• policies and implementation strategies to be undertaken over the next fives years
• a review of the 2014-2019 Housing Elements update including actions taken over the past five years
• updated data on housing, development, populations, employment and other community characteristics, and
• new maps showing vacant residential parcels that can be utilized for residential development
