WHAT THEY WANT

(Summarized from the RFP)

The City of Costa Mesa, California, is seeking a multidisciplinary consultant team to update its Housing Element for the Seventh Cycle (2029-2037), consistent with current state housing law. The City adopted a revised Sixth Cycle element in 2026 and is pursuing certification from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). With the Seventh Cycle regional housing need determination released for the Southern California Association of Governments region, the City expects its next allocation to be similar to the current 11,760 units and wants a plan that builds on its recently completed rezoning program.
