21Elements

Welcome

Welcome and thank you for visiting the “21 Elements” website. This website is part of the larger Countywide Housing Element Update collaboration project. It will serve as the central location for communication and coordination among interested parties in all twenty-one San Mateo County jurisdictions now updating their housing element to meet the June 2009 State deadline. The “21 Elements” project provides opportunities for municipalities to share resources, successful strategies and best practices, and will result in stronger local partnerships as well as higher quality certified Housing Elements. Co-sponsored and coordinated by the San Mateo County Department of Housing and City/County Association of Governments, this collaborative effort brings together our twenty one unique communities to better meet our common needs to accommodate our growing and changing populations, while ensuring and enhancing the qualities that make our communities livable and unique.

 A good place to start exploring is the Table of Contents or the Documents section.

Another good place to check out is the Key Dates Summary Report   which gives a summary of the milestone dates for the jurisdiction's Housing Elements.
