The City of Pomona is actively addressing the housing crisis by implementing comprehensive strategies to enhance housing availability and affordability. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by our community, the city has developed the ‘Pro Housing Pomona’ initiative, a state-compliant Housing Element that outlines specific policies and programs tailored to our urban environment.
Key components of this initiative include:
State Compliance and Community Focus
‘Pro Housing Pomona’ aligns with state mandates while considering Pomona’s unique attributes, such as a majority Hispanic/Latino population and a significant number of households with below-moderate income levels. This approach ensures that housing solutions are both effective and equitable.
Policy Framework and Regulatory Mechanisms
Over the next eight years, the city aims to provide a robust policy framework and regulatory mechanisms to encourage a range of quality, affordable housing options. This includes streamlining efforts and pursuing the state’s Pro Housing designation to facilitate housing development.
Community Engagement and Support
The city is committed to supporting existing residents in their housing needs and accommodating future population growth. By working collaboratively with community members, Pomona seeks to create a safer and more inclusive environment for all.
Residents are encouraged to participate in public meetings and provide feedback on housing initiatives. For more information, visit the city’s official website.
