The Housing Elements process is a once-in-8-years chance to reform our segregationist land-use patterns, and instead ensure all Californians can access great jobs, vital services, high-performing schools, healthy environments, wealth-building opportunities, and increased housing stability. New state laws put teeth into the Housing Element update process, but enforcement at the local level is necessary to make sure cities meet their commitments.
In this training, you will learn how how to effectively be a “watchdog” as cities are undergoing their Housing Element updates. Speakers will provide an overview of how to evaluate Housing Elements, spot problems, and how to advocate to remedy violations of Fair Housing law.
Hosted by the Campaign for Fair Housing Elements and partner organizations including YIMBY Law, YIMBY Action, CA YIMBY, East Bay for Everyone, and Palo Alto Forward.
