City of Greenfield 2023-2031 Housing Element - February 2025
"The California Legislature has declared that "the availability of housing is of vital statewide importance, and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every Californian, including farmworkers, is a priority of the highest order." Likewise, the City of Greenfield affirms this priority and along with the State government jointly has " a responsibility to consider economic, environmental, and fiscal factors and community goals set forth in the general plan and to cooperate with other local governments and the state in addressing regional housing needs."
The purpose of the housing element is to identify and analyze existing and projected housing needs and to provide goals, policies, and implementation programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing and affirmatively further fair housing. The framework of the Goals and Policies will guide the community's decision making for the following eight years...
As an element of the City of Greenfield General Plan, the goals, policies, and implementation programs included will apply only to the incorporated area of the City of Greenfield and that area within the City's Sphere of Influence and Planning Area. This update Housing Element covers the AMBAG planning projection from June 30, 2023 to December 15, 2031."
