National City's 6th Cycle Housing Element assesses current and future housing needs and constraints and establishes goals, policies, and programs to address them for the eight-year planning period of April 2021 through April 2029. It identifies the City's challenges of high regional housing costs, relatively low household incomes, and accommodating its share of regional housing need given limited undeveloped, vacant land in a highly developed urban setting. The document serves as National City's blueprint for housing policy and regulation for the cycle.
