Adopted Housing Element

Milpitas Hosuing Element

The Housing Element analyzes the City’s housing needs, assesses past accomplishments and fair housing practices, shows opportunities for future residential development, and addresses potential constraints to the development of housing in the city. It aims to promote and preserve housing, while furthering other goals described in the General Plan, including building vibrant and walkable neighborhoods and maintaining an equitable balance of land uses.
