Community Development

The City Council on Tuesday considered an update to the City’s Housing Element and adopted its two-year budget, among other business.

The City continues to help folks with low to moderate incomes improve their living conditions and extend the life of their homes through its Housing Rehabilitation Program.

Through the program, Mission Viejo residents can make heating, plumbing and driveway repairs. They can install new roofs, add a new coat of exterior paint to improve the home’s appearance, replace windows and doors and make energy-conservation repairs, among others.

In compliance with state law, the City of Mission Viejo is updating the Housing Element – a plan for existing and future housing needs over the next eight years.

You can join the workshop on Thursday, June 22 at 3 pm at the Norman P. Murray Center to receive an update on the status of the current Housing Element and find out how the City plans to address the state’s housing requirements for Mission Viejo. Your participation is important to help plan for Mission Viejo’s future.
