Enhancement Factors
The Department shall utilize enhancement factors to increase the point scores of Prohousing Policies. An individual Prohousing Policy may not use more than one enhancement factor. Each Prohousing Policy will receive extra points for enhancement factors in accordance with the chart below.
Category Prohousing Policy Description Points
1 The policy represents one element of a unified, multi-faceted strategy to promote multiple planning objectives, such as efficient land use, access to public transportation, housing affordable to Lower-Income Households, climate change solutions, and/or hazard miti
gation.
2 2 Policies that promote development consistent with the state planning priorities pursuant to Government Code section 65041.1.
1 3 Policies that diversify planning and target community and economic development investments (housing and non-housing) toward place-based strategies for community revitalization and equitable quality of life in lower opportunity areas. Such areas include, but are not limited to, Low Resource and High
Segregation & Poverty areas designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps, and disadvantaged
communities pursuant to Health and Safety Code sections 39711 and 39715 (California Senate Bill 535 (2012).
1 4 Policies that go beyond state law requirements in reducing displacement of Lower-Income Households and conserving
existing housing stock that is affordable to Lower-Income Households.
1 5 Rezoning and other policies that support intensification of residential development in Location Efficient Communities. 1 6 Rezoning and other policies that result in a net gain of housing capacity while concurrently mitigating development impacts on or from Environmentally Sensitive or Hazardous Areas.
1 7 Zoning policies, including inclusionary housing policies, that increase housing choices and affordability, particularly for Lower- Income Households, in High Resource and Highest Resource areas, as designated in the most recently updated TCAC/HCD Opportunit
y Maps.
1 8 Other policies that involve meaningful actions towards Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing outside of those required pursuant to Government Code sections 65583, subdivision (c)(10), and 8899.50, including, but not limited to, outreach campaigns, updated zoning codes, and expanded access to financin
g support.
