Planning for Future Housing

El Cajon continues to grow as our families grow and the City welcomes new community members. The City needs to plan for where people will live. It is estimated that approximately 3,200 new houses, condos or apartments will be necessary in the next eight years to keep up with El Cajon’s growing population and housing needs.

To address this, the updated Housing Element will identify potential sites where new housing development should occur and programs for how El Cajon can encourage new housing.
