Housing Policies
The City of Long Beach through its Community Development Department oversees a number of housing policies, gathering input and informing the community of numerous housing and zoning initiatives that are currently underway. These initiatives will encourage and grow housing production, increase housing affordability, reduce tenant displacement and attract innovative developments in high-resource areas.
The Department is doing crucial policy work that is designed to help achieve the City’s fair housing goals as outlined in the certified 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element. In addition to delivering on the goals of the Housing Element, the Department continues to meet other state mandates and is striving to ensure the City meets its overall housing needs.
