Help Shape Brea’s Future


The City of Brea has launched ShapeBrea.net, a new online community engagement tool. ShapeBrea.net is designed to be engaging, provide community feedback forums, interactive activities, and informative updates on Citywide initiatives and issues. The information collected will help contribute to policy documents in the City’s General Plan, which consists of nine, State-required elements. Each element covers a different aspect of the urban environment, such as safety, land use, air quality, and more. The first element to be updated is Brea’s Housing Element, which serves as the strategic and visionary document for the City’s housing needs and programs. Your input is key to shaping the future of housing in Brea. Share your thoughts about Brea’s most important housing needs by participating in the Housing Element Survey available now at shapebrea.net!
