The City of Garden Grove is updating its Housing Element to identify goals and strategies to meet the housing needs of existing and future residents for the production of safe, decent, and affordable housing for all persons in the community.  This plan is required by State Housing Law and must be updated every eight years.

The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is mandated by State Housing Law as part of the periodic process of updating local housing elements of the general plan. The RHNA quantifies the need for housing within each jurisdiction.

Garden Grove’s RHNA allocation for the 2021-2029 planning period is 19,122 units. The State of California requires the City of Garden Grove to plan for 19,122 future homes to accommodate growth in the region.

State Housing Law also requires cities to specify exact locations where new housing can feasibly be added – this is called Sites Inventory. The City is required to show the exact locations (properties) that can feasibly accommodate the development of 19,122 new residential units.
