Section II: City of
Hayward Housing
Update
City of Hayward - Housing Element 101
What is a Housing Element?
The Housing Element is one of eight mandatory elements of the General Plan.
Required to be updated every eight years.
The only element that is reviewed and certified by the State.
City of Hayward - Housing Element 101
Why do we need a Housing Element?
Opportunity for community conversation about local housing challenges & solutions, environmental justice, safety, and hazard planning and climate change.
State law does not require that local jurisdictions build or finance housing, but we must plan for it.
Noncompliance creates the potential for being sued when making land use decisions & makes the City ineligible for community development and infrastructure grants and funding sources.
City of Hayward - Housing Element 101
What is the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)?
Every eight years, the State projects housing need for the State as a whole and allocates a total to each Council of Government. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) covers the nine-county Bay Area region.
Bay Area was allocated 441,176 units – a 234% increase over the last cycle. That total is broken down into income categories.

Section III: HUSD
Surplus Property Usage
Allan
Hayward USD - Enrollment 20-year history and 6-year outlook:
● Current enrollment at 18,000
K-12 students.
● We have declined by 25% in the
past 20 years.
● Though the City is growing, our
enrollment continues to decline.
Hayward USD - Enrollment Declines
A survey conducted of families that left
Hayward USD found that ⅓ stayed in
Alameda County and ⅔ left Alameda
County entirely.
⅓ - Families decided Hayward USD was
not the right fit
⅔ - Families moved outside of Alameda
County, out of the Bay Area, and/or out of
California
Hayward USD - Housing Developments
The City has more housing developments, resulting in the City growing, but the type of housing impacts the number of students Hayward USD can anticipate for future developments.
Overall, 1,724 units
are expected to
bring in 274 students
Hayward USD - Housing Developments
The small number of projected students for all of the housing developments planned are due to a reduction of families moving into Hayward that are choosing Hayward USD schools.
For example:

1 Hayward USD student

Questions
Workshop Discussion
● What additional opportunities are there for partnership between the District and the City as it relates to land use planning/school site reuse?
● How can the City support the District in promoting
HUSD with residents and businesses?
● Are there additional land uses that should be
prioritized during the 7-11 Committee or City surplus
land processes?
● What is the best way to keep the Board and Council
informed of these processes?
