CHAPTER 3:
HOUSING ACTION PLAN
California Government Code Section 65583 requires that the Housing Element
contain a “statement of the community’s goals, quantified objectives, and policies
relative to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing.” This
chapter contains Sacramento County’s Action Plan which consists of a broad range
of goals, strategies, objectives, policies, and programs that address the development
of sufficient housing to accommodate population growth, and to encourage the
production of units in a range of prices affordable to all income groups. Goals and
objectives were developed in direct response to the observed needs for the
Sacramento area based on housing need assessments conducted during the
preparation of this Housing Element. The terms used in this chapter are:
