Fullerton is actively addressing its housing challenges through various initiatives, including new developments and policy updates.
New Housing Developments
On May 19, 2026, the Fullerton City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing to consider an appeal regarding a proposed 32-unit townhome project at 111 West Hermosa Drive. The development plan includes five units designated for low-income households. This appeal follows the Planning Commission’s earlier denial of the project, highlighting the complexities involved in balancing development with community concerns.
Policy Updates and Council Actions
In recent council meetings, several key decisions have been made to support housing and community development:
- Housing Element Progress: The council reviewed the Housing Element Annual Progress Report, assessing the city’s advancements in meeting housing targets and aligning zoning policies with state requirements.
- Senior Mobility Program: Discussions are underway to secure funding for the Senior Mobility Program, which provides essential transportation services for older adults. Efforts aim to ensure the program’s sustainability amid financial challenges.
- Energy Conservation Measures: The council approved an agreement to conduct an energy audit, exploring potential conservation measures to enhance the city’s infrastructure efficiency.

Residents are encouraged to participate in upcoming city council meetings to stay informed and contribute to discussions on housing and community development. Meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 5:30 PM at Fullerton City Hall. Agendas and participation details are available on the city’s official website.
