current and future housing needs • Provides opportunities for the

community to participate in the planning process

Projects growth at a state, regional, and local housing level

Based on current and projected population, employment and household growth

Southern California Association of

the region’s housing need to local jurisdictions in Los

housing need to all the regional councils of

government
