The City of Merced collaborates on

A Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element 

The Merced County region is developing a multi-jurisdictional housing element (MJHE) for the sixth cycle housing element update. Jurisdictions participating in the joint effort are the City of Merced, County of Merced, and the cities of Atwater, Dos Palos, Gustine, Livingston, and Los Banos. The Merced County Association of Governments is helping to coordinate the effort.

A website has been developed that will be the primary source for materials related to the Merced MJHE, including project documents, community workshop information, reports, and resources, and provide the community with ways to provide feedback on the project.
