The Future of Housing in
Our Community

The City of Concord is currently updating the Housing Element of the General Plan. The Housing Element serves as a policy guide to address the housing needs of all economic segments within our city. The primary focus of the Housing Element is to ensure decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing for current and future residents of our communities, including those with special needs.

A plan is in the works!


The housing element is a state-mandated plan for how our city will meet its housing needs. It covers an 8 year period from 2023 to 2031.

In accordance with the requirements of AB 215 (2021), the Draft 6th Cycle Housing Element for the City of Concord was made available for a 30-day public review period from May 27, 2022, through June 27, 2022. Comments from the public were collected and reviewed. Responses to the comments and edits (as needed) to the draft Housing Element have been completed. The revised Draft of the Housing Element is now available and located at the following links.

Document Links

  • Adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element (Tracked Changes)
  • Adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element (Document Only)
  • Draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration
  • Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration

The draft Housing Element was sent to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for a 90-day review period on Monday, August 15th, 2022. The 90-day review period has closed and the City received a letter from HCD on November 14, 2022. The letter can be accessed at the following link.
