All counties and cities located within the region covered by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), including the County of Los Angeles, are required to prepare and submit their adopted Housing Elements to the State Department of Housing and Community Development by July 1, 2008.
The Housing Element is a component of the Los Angeles County General Plan, which is the outline for growth and development in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. The purpose of the Housing Element is to analyze existing, and to plan for future needs for all unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. The Housing Element must address the housing needs of all income levels and accommodate a diversity of housing types and special needs. The planning period for the next Housing Element update is July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2014.
