Our vision for housing is to assure high-quality, safe, affordable homes for all Newark residents. The City works to achieve this vision through housing goals, policies, and actions described in the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element and other Council-adopted plans.

The housing links below provide information and resources for the community to engage with the City and other local and regional agencies and service providers. In particular, the focus is on affordable housing and providing opportunities to make Newark housing more affordable.

Object Design Standards Community Open House on 2/26

2023-2031 Newark Housing Element

In 2023, City Council adopted the Newark Housing Element, a plan for all the housing needed in our community.

The shortage of homes at prices that everybody can afford impacts all of us. While the plan has been approved and adopted, you can continue to help us shape the future of housing in the places you live, work, and love.
