Kingsburg Housing Element Update

The City is participating in the State-required housing element update as part of a Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional effort. The Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element will cover the planning period of 2023-2031, and must be adopted and submitted to HCD for certification by December 31, 2023.

The Housing Element is one of the eight required elements of the General Plan and the only element required to be approved (“certified”) by the State. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has the legal authority to review and certify housing elements.

The city will host a joint workshop on Thursday, May 11 in Council Chambers (1401 Draper St.).  The workshop will cover the DRAFT Housing Element Update and consider public input.
