Housing

The City of Monterey is looking for community input on the social services that are available for vulnerable communities citywide.  

The City’s Housing Programs Office is currently studying the ways that people connect with social services, which services are most helpful, and which community needs are experiencing a gap in services. This is part of a larger Vulnerable Communities Needs Analysis that began in early 2018. The study will help inform the City’s strategy for providing services to members of the community who qualify as part of a vulnerable group, which includes low-income residents, single parent households, disabled persons, seniors, and the homeless.

The City of Monterey is in the process of updating its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) which is required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City entered into a collaborative agreement for a Regional AI update with the County of Monterey (Urban County), City of Salinas, City of Seaside and the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM). 

The City is encouraging public review and comment of the Monterey County (Regional) AI.  The draft Monterey County (Regional) AI is now available (see attachments below) to review and comment.  The draft Monterey County (Regional) AI comment period ends on May 16, 2019. 

Written comments can be sent to the City of Monterey Housing Programs Office: 353 Camino El Estero, Monterey, Ca 93940, or by email to leonard@monterey.org.
