The City of Irvine is updating the Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning period and will be hosting two virtual community workshops. All Irvine residents and stakeholders are encouraged to attend the virtual workshops to help plan the City’s future housing needs and priorities.

The City of Irvine Housing Element is one of the seven mandated elements of the City’s General Plan. It sets forth Irvine’s strategy to preserve and enhance the community’s residential character, expand housing opportunities for all economic segments, and provide guidance and direction for local government decision-making in all matters related to housing.

The community workshops will be hosted by Irvine’s Community Development department and will include a presentation on the Housing Element and an open discussion about the update. The public is invited to attend the meetings.

Virtual Community Workshop dates and times via Zoom:

• April 22, 2021, from 10 a.m. to noon
• April 29, 2021, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
