REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Approve the 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report
Report
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 65400 ("Section 65400") requires cities and counties to submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) to the State by April 1 of each year. APRs must be submitted to two State agencies: Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The APRs describe each jurisdiction's progress in implementing the Housing Elements of their General Plans.
The 2024 APR (Attachment 1) describes the City's accomplishments for calendar year 2024 that contribute toward meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and Housing Element program objectives. The 2024 APR measures housing production during calendar year 2024 to be counted towards the Sixth Cycle (2023-2031) RHNA Projection Period, which began on June 30, 2022, and ends on December 31, 2030.
All "successor housing entities" are also required to submit an annual report on the Low-Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds (LMIHAF) as an addendum to the Housing Element APR to HCD. The City is the Housing Successor to the Redevelopment Agency and therefore is required to annually provide housing assets and activity information as part of the Housing Successor Agency Annual Report on the LMIHAF (Attachment 2).
