Eureka Council to Hear Report on Housing Allocation, Tuesday Night, 5:30pm

Sun, 01/18/2009 - 19:17 — Chris Rall

On Tuesday evening, Eureka will receive a report from Glen Campora, Senior Policy Advisor for California Department of Housing and Community Development, on the Regional Housing Needs Allocation process under way at HCAOG.  The RHNA process took a step backward in December, and is now starting up again with greater opportunity for public input.  Eureka is a critical player in the process, since it has the largest jobs-housing imbalance in the county (i.e. lots of jobs and not enough housing).  This will take place the night before the first critical HCAOG RHNA committee meeting on Wednesday.  The city council meeting starts at 6:30 pm at Eureka City Hall.  Here's a link to the agenda.
