e Program 14 (Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing)
e Program 15 (Increasing Housing Opportunity in Low Density Districts) e Program 17 (Neighborhood Market and Grocery Stores)
The City must monitor and report on the results of these and other programs through the annual progress report, required pursuant to Government Code section 65400.
Please be aware, Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i) grants HCD authority to review any action or failure to act by a local government that it determines is inconsistent with an adopted housing element or housing element law. This includes failure to implement program actions included in the housing element. HCD may revoke housing element compliance if the local government's actions do not comply with state law.
Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant; the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City now meets housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.
For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation at:
https://www.|Ici.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/quidelines. html.
HCD appreciates the dedication and effort the City’s housing element team provided throughout the housing element update and review. HCD wishes the City success in implementing its housing element and looks forward to following its progress through the General Plan annual progress reports pursuant to Government Code section 65400.
If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Jamillah Williams, of our staff, at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Paul McDougall
Senior Program Manager
