Subject: Notification of the Adoption of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Methodology and Issuance of the Draft RHNA Allocation At its September 18, 2025 meeting, the Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) Board selected a preferred alternative allocation methodology for the Cycle 7 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
The preferred methodology, along with documentation of the RHNA process for the 7th Housing Element Cycle, is posted on the HCAOG website at https://www.hcaog.net/regional-housing-needs-allocation-rhna-7th-cycle. The draft allocations are listed below.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65584.05, this letter is to inform you of the preliminary decision made by the Board to adopt a preferred RHNA allocation method for the public comment period. This step will initiate a 60-day public comment and review period, wherein the public and interested parties can provide further input on the final adopted RHNA allocation methodology, which will be considered at the December 18th, 2025 Board Meeting. In addition to the Board meeting considering adoption, a public hearing will be held on the November 20th, 2025 Board meeting, to receive and review public comment received to date.
If you have any questions or need information on appeal limitations, please contact me at (707) 444-8208 or [email protected].
