  • Poway's 2020-2029 (6th cycle) Housing Element Update is a required component of the City's General Plan and covers the time period from June 30, 2020 to April 15, 2029, providing the City with a coordinated and comprehensive strategy for promoting the production of safe, decent, and affordable housing within the community. Meeting the requirements of Article 10.6 of the California Government Code, it analyzes the previous 2010-2020 Housing Element and current physical, fiscal, and regulatory housing factors, identifies constraints to achieving the housing goal, and proposes modifications and refinements to the objectives, policies, and programs from the previous Housing Element. According to State law, the Element's two main purposes are to provide an assessment of both current and future housing needs and constraints, and to provide a strategy that establishes housing goals, policies, and programs.
