| About the Housing Elements Update |
| We are currently working with grassroots groups and organizations in Marin to promote community education and participation in the Housing Elements update processes. What are Housing Elements? The General Plan is a comprehensive policy document that defines the type, amount, and location of future growth and development within a Town, City or County and forms the basis for the jurisdiction’s planning activities and its decisions regarding development proposals. Every General Plan has many elements (organized in chapters) and one of them is related to housing. State of California’s Law requires all the local governments to plan for housing to meet their fair share of existing need and estimated population growth. This plan has to be updated every 5-7 years. Why is this important this year? In 2009, local governments in Marin County are working on updating their Housing Element. This process is at a very important stage to advocate for Affordable Housing. Contact your local government to find out when they will be reviewing their Housing Element (and visit our blog frequently for updates). Do you need more information about Housing Elements?

"Injustice anywhere is a
threat to justice
everywhere. We are caught
in an inescapable network
of mutuality, tied in a
single garment of destiny.
Whatever affects one
directly, affects all
indirectly."
