The City of Livingston is participating in the Merced County Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element (MJHE) Update, a joint effort between the County of Merced and the cities of Atwater, Dos Palos, Gustine, Livingston, Los Banos, and Merced to coordinate their Housing Element updates. The Merced County Association of Governments is helping to coordinate the effort.
The Housing Element is a required component of the General Plan. It presents a strategy for meeting the community's housing needs, and it addresses housing constraints, available land and resources, housing needs across income levels, fair housing requirements, and the goals, policies, and programs that will guide future housing development.
