Housing production and the 952-unit regional target
Summary
Eureka permitted 143 new homes in 2025 — its best year yet, thanks largely to the 90-unit Link Housing project — but is averaging 58 homes a year against the 119 needed to reach its 952-unit state allocation by 2027. Major projects in the pipeline, including Wiyot Elders housing and the Earth Center, are expected to help, and the city will exceed its lower-income targets.

City Council - Mar 17, 2026
Eureka permitted 143 units in 2025 — its best year yet — but sits at 43% of its eight-year regional housing obligation. Major affordable projects, including Wiyot Tribe housing and the Earth Center transit-oriented development, could push the city past its low-income targets if permits issue in 2026.
