City to update housing policies

MONTCLAIR -- The city is currently updating the Housing Element of its General Plan for the period 2006-2014. 

The Housing Element establishes city policies and programs regarding maintenance of existing housing stock, affordable housing, creation of new housing, and providing resources to help residents meet their housing needs.

An important part of the Housing Element update process is determining the housing needs of Montclair's residents. 

The city will conduct a Housing Element Workshop on from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 12 in the Community Room at the Montclair Police Department, 4870 Arrow Highway. 

Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to provide input on current and future housing needs, challenges and opportunities.

Further information about the Housing Element update may be obtained by calling Michael Diaz, city planner, (909) 625-9432.
