The Housing Element of the General Plan identifies South Pasadena’s housing needs and establishes clear goals and objectives to inform future housing decisions. This important effort will identify existing capacity and guide South Pasadena's housing policy creation and implementation from 2021 to 2029. The state requires that the Housing Element be updated every eight years, and that the Housing Element demonstrate the City has sufficient capacity to accommodate the number of housing units identified in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). These frequent updates are a reflection of the vital role housing plays in ensuring the shared prosperity of our region. City staff is working alongside the PlaceWorks Inc., a planning, design and environmental consulting firm with extensive experience on updating housing elements, to produce a multi-year update that will help us address the growing housing challenges in accordance with State laws.
