The “Housing Crisis,” which means housing availability and affordability, is one of the biggest challenges facing communities across the State of California, including the City of Pomona.

Pro Housing Pomona, the City's fully State-compliant Housing Element, defines what the housing crisis specifically means for Pomona at a policy and program level, accounting for State mandates, existing constraints, and the unique attributes of being an urban City with a majority Hispanic/Latino population, a disproportionally high number of households with below moderate-income levels, and the fifth highest Regional Housing Needs Assessment allocation in Los Angeles County.

The City of Pomona is committed to supporting the production of quality, affordable housing across all economic strata, as evidenced by recent policies, streamlining efforts, and pursuit of the State’s Pro Housing designation.

Pomona’s focus over the next eight years will be to provide both the policy framework and regulatory mechanisms to encourage a range of quality, affordable housing options to meet our State-mandated goals, support our existing residents in their housing needs, and accommodate future population growth.
