Apple Valley wants to know what its residents think about the town’s housing policies.
The High Desert town is scheduled to hold a virtual meeting via Zoom at 6 p.m. Feb. 24, in which residents will offer views on how Apple Valley can best meet its housing needs in the next 10 years or so, according to a statement on the town’s website.
Comments will be included in Apple Valley’s housing element update. This workshop will also focus on Apple Valley’s 2021-2029 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation.
Local jurisdictions in California must update their Housing Element every eight years. During this period – October 2021 to October 2029 – Apple Valley must have a California certified Housing Element to be eligible for certain programs and grants.
Failure to certify a local Housing Element can cause further loss of local control over housing development decisions by the town and its residents.
To participate in the workshop, RSVP to [email protected], by 10:00 a.m. on the day of the meeting. Requests received after 10:00 a.m. on meeting day may not be processed.
