Regional Housing Need Allocation
Introduction
Preparation of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is mandated
by California Government Code section 65584. The law requires that the
California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) project
housing construction needs at the county level. HCD utilizes population
and employment projections from SJCOG’s Regional Transportation Plan and
the Department of Finance’s most recent projections as the basis for
their projections. SJCOG is mandated to allocate the housing needs
prepared by HCD to the jurisdictions and unincorporated areas within the
county by income category.
For this cycle, the RHNA covers the planning period from January 2007
through June 2014. Units built between January 1, 2007 and adoption of
the plan will be credited towards the allocation. SJCOG’s allocation
must be received by HCD by August 31, 2008. Local jurisdictions are
required to incorporate the allocation into an updated general plan
housing element, which must be submitted to HCD by August 31, 2009.
Draft Methodology
The regional housing need is determined by the California State
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). In consultation
with SJCOG, HCD released the
Regional
Housing Needs Determination for the region in August 2007. For this
planning cycle, the regional housing needs determination is 38,220.
California Government Code section 65584 requires SJCOG to create a
methodology for allocating the region’s housing needs. SJCOG, in
conjunction with the local RHNA Technical Advisory Committee submitted a
Draft Methodology to local jurisdictions for
public review and comment
on February 1st, 2008. The 60 public review and comment period will end
April 9, 2008.
Public Comment Period
Local jurisdictions, stakeholders, and community residents may submit
written comments regarding the Draft Methodology to the following
address:
