Oaklandside: What’s in Oakland’s new sweeping 8-year plan for housing?
The Oakland City Council unanimously approved the city’s next Housing Element on Tuesday, giving a glimpse of how the city plans to build and preserve housing, and address homelessness and over the next eight years.
The adoption of the document, which needs state approval, is a milestone, but the council will still have multiple opportunities to make changes later. The Housing Element is a central piece of the city’s General Plan, which is undergoing an update for the first time in over 20 years.
