Housing and Land Use (HLU) Committee

Overview

The Whittier Housing and Land Use Committee is a group of committed volunteers collaborating with each other, with developers, and other organizations to impact Whittier's housing climate in a positive way. The Committee meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month  to collaborate on and provide community updates on projects ongoing, to facilitate discussions with developers, and hear from elected officials on housing policy.
Community-led Visioning Sessions and subsequent meetings in 2018 laid out a clear vision for the work of this Committee in the coming 5 years as a part of the Whittier Alliance's overall organizational strategic plan: Protect and Expand the variety of housing options in Whittier for people at every life stage and economic condition.
