WHEREAS, The City of Hemet is the home of more than 6,252 military veterans who have shown courage and valor, often in the face of grave danger; and WHEREAS, The City reflects upon the enormous contributions to our country of our fallen warriors, we also pay tribute to the next generation of the City of Hemet citizens who have chosen to serve the United States Armed Forces, as they are committed to sustaining a legacy of unyielding patriotism; and
WHEREAS, The citizens of the City of Hemet must always stand united in remembrance of those who have given so much that we can live in freedom, prosperity, and enjoy the blessings our country has to offer.

National Month of Prayer - Proclamation

20.D.

Joe Males, Mayor
WHEREAS, In periods of peace and prosperity and times of struggles and strife, countless individuals turn to prayer to seek guidance, bolster their faith, and brace their spirits when they need it most; and
WHEREAS, Prayer is both a personal and communal act composed of our most intimate thoughts and practice observed by multitudes across our diverse Nation in every language, culture, religion, and belief system; and
WHEREAS, The right to pray is enshrined in our Constitution and stamped firmly in the American tradition by the belief of prayer moving mountains, a belief of making the impossible, possible; and
WHEREAS, Throughout history, prayer has empowered moral movements and fueled efforts to strengthen democracy, deeply rooted in the fight to abolish slavery and the expansion of voting rights and voter access; and
WHEREAS, We will never fully understand how prayer has quietly influenced every aspect of individuals' lives — bringing comfort to service members on the battlefield, grounding the spirits of astronauts in space, guiding the healing hands of medical professionals tending to our loved ones, and fortifying the faiths of millions of worshippers in every corner of our Nation. There is hardly an aspect of American life that is not touched by the silent prayer supplications to fulfill our hopes and aspirations.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Joe Males, Mayor of the City of Hemet, along with the Hemet City Council, hereby proclaim the month of June 2024 as:

NATIONAL MONTH OF PRAYER
And encourage all residents of the City of Hemet to observe this month, reflecting on the blessings our City has received and the importance of prayer by focusing on prayer and incorporating prayer into their daily lives all month long.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - May 28 2024
Department: Fire Department
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Eddie Sell, Fire Chief;
☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☒ Public Hearing TITLE:

A Public Hearing to Consider Objections to the Proposed Weed Abatement on Private Property and Consideration of a Resolution Ordering Abatement of Weeds, Rubbish and Refuse Upon Parkways Or Private Property Within the City of Hemet.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Open a Public Hearing and take testimony and consider objections, if any, and adopt A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Hemet, California, Ordering Abatement Of Weeds, Rubbish And Refuse Upon Parkways Or Private Property Within the City of Hemet.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council adopted the a weed abatement procedure as outlined in Government Code section 39501 and 39502, and section 39560 et seq. on April 23, 2024. The City Council declared weeds to be a public nuisance on known properties, offer notice to property owners, and established an opportunity to be heard as to why said weeds should not be abated. This public hearing was set to allow for objections and protests to the proposed abatement to be heard.

Timeline for the 2024 weed abatement process:
 April 15, 2024: Staff identifies various properties with weed overgrowth and property ownership.
 April 23, 2024: Council adopted a resolution for weed abatement.  April 24, 2024: A letter sent from the fire department to property owners that need weed abatement informing a May 31, 2024 deadline for compliance.  May 28, 2024: Hearing to receive comments from the public.  May 31, 2024: Compliance deadline.
 June 1, 2024: Fire Department initiates verification of compliance. Fire Department issues list of properties requiring abatement via City private contractor.

21.A.

 June 30, 2024: Final verification of outstanding properties’ compliance.  July 1, 2024: The City processes and sends invoices to property owners for services rendered by the contractor and requests full payment.

ANALYSIS:

In 2019, the Fire Department instituted a weed abatement program to reduce grass and rubbish fires occurring in parkways and private properties within the City limits. All affected property owners were notified and given an opportunity to abate the hazard themselves within a specified time frame. After the time frame passed, a contracted company would inspect the property and abate the hazard if it still existed. The cost of this abatement would be passed on to the property owner with an additional administrative fee. The number of fires in vacant lots between 2018 and 2019 dropped dramatically, and thus the weed abatement program became an annual action to mitigate the damage from weed, rubbish, and refuse fires.

DISCUSSION:

Letters have been sent to property owners allowing approximately 30 days to comply with abatement requirements. Property owners who fail to comply will have their property abated by City of Hemet contractors. The City invoices property owners for contracted services rendered, including a $250.00 City administrative fee. If the property owner does not fully pay for the invoiced services, the City places a lien on the parcel. All abatements should be completed within approximately 90 days.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

The City Council has approved the weed abatement resolution each year since 2019.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

Objective 1: Enhance the visual appearance of the community to make it attractive and reduce blight.

Objective 2: Explore and implement homelessness solutions for the City of Hemet.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - May 28 2024
Department: Community Development
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Monique Alaniz-Flejter, Community Development Director; ☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☒ Public Hearing TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council, of the City of Hemet, California, Re-Adopting General Plan Amendment 21-001 Updating General Plan Chapter 11 Housing Element in Compliance with State Mandated Requirements for the 6th Cycle Housing Element (2021-2029).

Environmental: The City has analyzed this proposed project and has determined that it is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, which provides that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

1. Receive and consider the staff report and attached documentation related to the proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA 21-001); and

2. Open the public hearing and receive comments and testimony from all interested parties, and Close the public hearing, discuss and deliberate on the proposed (GPA 21-001); and

3. Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, to Re-Adopt General Plan Amendment (GPA 21-001) for the Revised 6th Cycle Housing Element (2021-2029).

4. Direct Staff to File a Notice of Exemption with the State Clearinghouse and the Riverside County Clerk.

BACKGROUND:

California State Housing Element Law (California Government Code Article 10.6) establishes the requirements for the Housing Element. State Law requires that local governments review and revise the Housing Element of their comprehensive General Plans once every eight years. The California Legislature has adopted an overall housing goal for the State to ensure every resident has a decent home and suitable living environment. The contents of the Housing Element must comply with amendments to State housing law and all other Federal, State, and local requirements.

On January 25, 2022, the City Council Adopted Resolution No. 2022-015 of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Adopting General Plan Amendment 21-001, a City-Initiated Proposal of a

21.B.

Revised Housing Element of the Hemet General Plan, Updating the Current Housing Element in Accordance with State Mandated Requirements for the 2021-2029 6th Housing Element Cycle.

The proposed update is a comprehensive statement of the City’s housing policies and serves as a guide for implementing these policies. As required by state law, the update examines current housing needs, estimates future housing needs, and establishes goals, policies, and programs pertaining to those needs while demonstrating the capacity to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation mandated by the state.

Certification Process
The adopted Housing Element document was submitted to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for certification. Since then, the City's consulting team, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. , and City staff have been working with HCD through their review process, requiring a series of additional draft revisions to include applicable state law mandates and community context into the Housing Element document.

On October 10, 2023 the Council received a progress report with overview of revisions to the housing element based on feedback received by HCD as summarized below. The Housing Element draft was re-submitted to HCD for certification.

On December 15, 2023, additional revisions were deemed necessary by HCD for certification, including a requirement to adopt a zoning code amendment to permit emergency shelters by right in a zone prior to certification of the Housing Element. The following includes a summary of the key policy revisions that have been made through the iterative process with HCD.

The attached revised Housing Element Update dated April 2024 includes revisions provided in the latest correspondence received by HCD on December 15, 2023. All other previous draft revisions in chronological order can be found on the City of Hemet's Housing Element Update website, as provided in the link below.
https://www.hemetca.gov/1029/Housing-Element-Update
ANALYSIS:

April 2024 Policy Revisions
 Pages 3-137 through 3-142 were revised to provide an Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) analysis of sites by income category. The analysis divided the City into planning areas to facilitate a spatial analysis of identified sites.
 Program H-2i: Missing Middle Housing has been added to the Housing Plan to facilitate and encourage an increase in supply and variety of housing types, specifically smaller housing types that are affordable by design and do not require subsidies or funding sources. The term "Missing Middle" refers to housing such as duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, courtyard apartments, bungalow courts, townhouses, multiplexes, and live/work units that support moderate- and middle-income households.
 Program H-2j: Policy Program was added to facilitate Housing co-located with Religious and Community Facilities to promote and facilitate at least 60 affordable units within the City on properties owned by faith-based organizations such as churches and other places of worship.

21.B.

 Housing Plan (Table 4-1) adds place-based strategies for economic and community revitalization, protecting residents from income-driven displacement, and enhancing housing mobility to encourage the development of more housing choices and affordability across more geographies within the City.
 HCD has required the City to adopt regulations to permit emergency shelters by right prior to certification of the Housing Element. A Zoning Code Amendment has been included as a separate public hearing item for consideration.
 Program H-1c has been modified to implement Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities that includes the group homes (licensed or non-licensed) in any residential zone, not subject to a use permit. A zoning code cleanup amendment will be brought back to the Council by December of 2024.

October 2023 Policy Revisions
 Please note, the October submission includes supplementary revisions to the September 2023 Draft. To review the October 2023 Policy Revisions, please click on the link provided https://www.hemetca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/9605/City-of-Hemet-Housing-ElementUpdate_120723.  Expanded on the City’s Rental Property Repair Program including qualified applicants, overseeing department, and eligible repairs.
 Discussion was added to include specific analysis to guide an appropriate programmatic response. The analysis discussed the housing conditions, such as areas of higher need, housing types, effectiveness of past programs. The analysis included discussion infrastructure, community amenities, parks, circulation and coincidence with other components of the fair housing assessment such as access to opportunities. The analysis also considered blighted conditions, compare the neighborhood to other neighborhoods and the effectiveness of the Downtown Specific plan, including investments.
 Locational analysis included for each AFFH data maps overlaid with identified sites. Analysis includes mentions of income group, distribution of sites based on location, and an evaluation of its impacts on the city. Each map is accompanied with a breakdown of the total RHNA for each income group.
 Revision to Water Supply & Waste Water Supply Data.
 Added discussion to Analysis of Federal, State, and Local Data and Knowledge.  Added analysis of Census Tract data to disadvantaged communities defined by HUD.

September 2023 Policy Revisions

 Program H-3c and H-3d were revised to include code updates and monitoring programs for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).

21.B.

 Program H-3n has been revised to clarify that a General Plan amendment "cleanup" is necessary for consistency between the R-3 zone and the General Plan. The Medium Density Residential (MDR) General Plan was deemed inconsistent with the R-3 zone by HCD.  Program H-3o: Large Sites Program has been added to Section 4 to develop a program that will establish incentives to facilitate parceling at appropriate sizes, prioritize funding, and assist applicants with entitlement.
 Global Changes: Additional analysis added to Housing Constraints, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), and Sites Inventory sections to address HCD’s findings.

WHEREAS, it is in the City’s best interest to obtain State certification of its Housing Element, revisions, as recommended by HCD, will be incorporated into the Housing Element in compliance with State Law; and
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2024, subsequent to a public hearing, the Hemet Planning Commission adopted a Resolution recommending that the City Council ReAdopt General Plan Amendment 21-001 and a finding that the project is Categorically Exempt in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code Sections 65353, 65355 and 65090, on May 17, 2024 the City placed a notice of public hearing in the Press Enterprise newspaper announcing the holding of a public hearing at which the ReAdoption of General Plan Amendment No. 21-001 would be considered by the City Council; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HEMET FINDS, DETERMINES, ORDERS AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS The City Council, in light of the whole record before it, including but not limited to, the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines

21.B.

CITY OF HEMET RESOLUTION NO. 2024-XXX 1
and the recommendation of the Community Development Director as provided in the Staff Report dated May 28, 2024, hereby finds and determines as follows:

1. CEQA: The City has analyzed this proposed General Plan Amendment and has determined that it is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines, which provides that CEQA only applies to projects that have a potential for causing a significant impact on the environment. GPA21- 001 in itself does not relate to any physical project and will not result in any physical change to the environment and does not affect the land use or density limitations of the General Plan, except as superseded by State law. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this ordinance text amendment may have a significant adverse effect on the environment, and therefore, the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

SECTION 2: GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT The City Council hereby approves of General Plan Amendment No. 21-001, the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update, attached as Exhibit B to this Resolution on the following grounds:

1. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not cause any internal inconsistencies in the General Plan and serves to implement the policies and programs contained in Chapter 11 (Housing Element.) The proposed housing element update outlines the City’s strategy to preserve and enhance the community’s residential character, provide housing opportunities for all

21.B.

CITY OF HEMET RESOLUTION NO. 2024-XXX 1
economic segments, and set forth policy guidance and programs related to housing issues and State law requirements. Therefore, the proposed General Plan Chapter 11 (Housing Element) revisions are appropriate and consistent with the General Plan 2030.

SECTION 3: CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS The City Council hereby approves the following:

1. Finding the project Categorically Exempt from CEQA. In compliance with CEQA Guidelines §15061 (b) (3), the Community Development Director shall prepare a Notice of Exemption concerning the findings made in Section 1 of this Resolution, and within five (5) working days of the project approval, file a Notice with the Riverside County Clerk for posting.

2. Approve Re-Adoption of General Plan Amendment No. 21-001, updating General Plan Chapter 11 (Housing Element) in compliance with Statemandated requirements for the 2021-2029 housing element cycle.

SECTION 4: EFFECTIVE DATE. This Resolution shall become effective on May 28, 2024.

Community Development Department
City of Hemet
445 E Florida Avenue
Hemet, CA 92543
Dear Monique Alaniz-Flejter:

RE: City of Hemet’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Hemet’s (City) revised draft housing element update received for review on October 16, 2023, along with revisions received on December 14, 2023. The revisions were made available to the public for seven days prior to California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) review.

Our review was facilitated by a telephone conversation on November 30, 2023 with you and Bryant De La Torre. In addition, HCD considered comments from David Kellogg pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (c). Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (b), HCD is reporting the results of its review.

The revised draft housing element addresses many statutory requirements described in HCD’s April 3, 2023 review; however, additional revisions are necessary to substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq), as follows:

1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing (AFFH) in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A).)
Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).) Identified Sites and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH): In response to HCD’s prior review, the element now includes additional analysis on how identified sites are related to various fair housing categories (e.g., race, TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps). However, these revisions do not otherwise address HCD’s findings. A full analysis should address the income categories of

21.B.

Monique Alaniz-Flejter, Director

identified sites with respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and how that effects the existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity). The element should also discuss whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions. If sites exacerbate conditions, the element should identify further program actions that will be taken to mitigate this (e.g., anti-displacement strategies).

Goals, Actions, Metrics, and Milestones: As noted above, the element does not include a complete analysis of AFFH and should add or modify programs based on a complete analysis.

In addition, while the element was revised to add a table with fair housing actions (Table 4-1), many of these commitments are still limited to outreach and marketing efforts and do not appear to facilitate any meaningful change nor address AFFH requirements. As previously stated, programs should be based on identified contributing factors and be significant and meaningful. For example, the element must include significant actions to promote housing mobility and placebased strategies toward community revitalization. Further, the element must include specific commitments, geographic targeting, and metrics and milestones toward AFFH outcomes. As an example, the City could consider increasing housing choice voucher (HCV) targets in areas of higher need as part of its housing mobility strategy. Further, given that the City is comprised of several lower-resourced areas, and includes R/ECAPs, the element could incorporate policies and objectives from the Downtown Specific Plan to create new housing choices and affordability in newly transformed areas of opportunity. At the same time, the element should also consider adopting additional anti-displacement protection measures and incorporating actions from the City’s Environmental Justice element to reduce the disproportionate impacts of pollutants and other hazardous conditions in targeted areas of the City and further promote placebased strategies for community revitalization.

2. Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services... …Sites shall be identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).) Program H-1i (Zoning for Emergency Shelters): The element was not revised to address this finding. As noted in HCD’s prior review, the City does not have a zone to permit emergency shelters without discretionary action and HCD cannot find the element in compliance until the appropriate zoning is available.

21.B.

Monique Alaniz-Flejter, Director

Group Homes: The element must demonstrate appropriate zoning and permit procedures to facilitate approval of group homes for seven or more persons.

Specifically, the element should include a program to allow these uses in all zones allowing residential uses and only subject to requirements similar to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone, including not being subject to a use permit.

The element will meet the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law once it has been revised and re-adopted to comply with the above requirements, pursuant to Government Code section 65585.

As a reminder, the City’s 6th cycle housing element was due October 15, 2021. As of today, the City has not completed the housing element process for the 6th cycle. The City’s 5th cycle housing element no longer satisfies statutory requirements. HCD encourages the City to revise the element as described above, re-adopt, and submit to HCD to regain housing element compliance.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), a jurisdiction that failed to adopt a compliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline (October 15, 2021) cannot be found in compliance until rezones to make prior identified sites available or accommodate a shortfall of sites are completed pursuant to Government Code sections 65583, subdivision (c)(1)(A) and 65583.2, subdivision (c).

As this year has passed and Programs H-3i (Use of Sites Identified in Previous regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) Cycles) and H-3n (Maintain Land Use and Zoning Consistency) have not been completed, the housing element is out of compliance and will remain out of compliance until the rezonings have been completed.

Pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, subdivision (b), the City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD when preparing the sites inventory.

While the City has submitted an electronic version of the sites inventory, if changes occur, any future re-adopted versions of the element must also submit the electronic version of the sites inventory.

21.B.

Monique Alaniz-Flejter, Director

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 Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

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 meets housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

We are committed to assisting the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Emily Hovda, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Paul McDougall
Senior Program Manager

Identified Sites and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH): In response to HCD’s prior review, the element now includes additional analysis on how identified sites are related to various fair housing categories (e.g., race, TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps). However, these revisions do not otherwise address HCD’s findings. A full analysis should address the income categories of identified sites with respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and how that effects the existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity). The element should also discuss whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions. If sites exacerbate conditions, the element should identify further program actions that will be taken to mitigate this (e.g., anti-displacement strategies).

Previous HCD Comments: A full analysis should address the income categories of identified sites with respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and how that effects the existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity). Secondly, the element must also address the observation that sites for lower-income households are concentrated in central areas of the City, whereas moderate and above-moderate households are concentrated almost exclusively in the peripheral areas of the City. Lastly, the element should also discuss whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions. If sites exacerbate conditions, the element should identify further program actions that will be taken to mitigate this (e.g., housing mobility, place-based and anti-displacement strategies).

Pages 3-137 through 3-142 were revised to provide
an AFFH analysis of sites by income category. The
analysis divided the City into planning areas to
facilitate a spatial analysis of identified sites.

Goals, Actions, Metrics, and Milestones: As noted above, the element does not include a complete analysis of AFFH and should add or modify programs based on a complete analysis.

In addition, while the element was revised to add a table with fair housing actions (Table 4-1), many of these commitments are still limited to outreach and marketing efforts and do not appear to facilitate any meaningful change nor address AFFH requirements. As previously stated, programs should be based on identified contributing factors and be significant and meaningful. For example, the element must include significant actions to promote housing mobility and place-based strategies toward community revitalization. Further, the element must include specific commitments, geographic targeting, and metrics and milestones toward AFFH outcomes. As an example, the City could Program H-2i: Missing Middle Housing added to the
Housing Plan to facilitate and encourage an increase
in supply and variety of housing types, specifically
smaller housing types that are affordable by design
and do not require subsidies or funding sources.

Program H-2j: Facilitate Housing Co-Located with
Religious and Community Facilities has been
added to the Housing Plan to promote and facilitate
at least 60 affordable units on properties owned by
faith-based organizations such as churches and
other places of worship.

consider increasing housing choice voucher (HCV) targets in areas of higher need as part of its housing mobility strategy. Further, given that the City is comprised of several lower-resourced areas, and includes R/ECAPs, the element could incorporate policies and objectives from the Downtown Specific Plan to create new housing choices and affordability in newly transformed areas of opportunity. At the same time, the element should also consider adopting additional anti-displacement protection measures and incorporating actions from the City’s Environmental Justice element to reduce the disproportionate impacts of pollutants and other hazardous conditions in targeted areas of the City and further promote place-based strategies for community revitalization.

Previous HCD Comment: Given that the City identifies two R/ECAPs within its boundaries and most of the City is considered a low and moderate resource community, the element should focus on programs that center on place-based strategies for economic and community revitalization, protecting residents from income-driven displacement, and enhancing housing mobility to encourage the development of more housing choices and affordability across more geographies within the City. Further, the element must include specific commitment, geographic targeting, and metrics and milestones toward AFFH outcomes.

Program H-2k: Progress in Meeting 6th Cycle
RHNA has been added to continue to track the
progress in residential development to meet RHNA
obligations throughout the 6th Cycle planning
period.

A suite of actions have been added to the Housing
Plan (Table 4-1) to include significant actions to
promote housing mobility and place-based
strategies toward community revitalization
A suite of additional actions has been added to the
Housing Plan (Table 4-1) to include antidisplacement protection measures and incorporating actions from the City’s Environmental
Justice element to reduce the disproportionate
impacts of pollutants and other hazardous
conditions in targeted areas of the City to further
promote place-based strategies for community
revitalization
Program H-1i (Zoning for Emergency Shelters): The element was not revised to address this finding. As noted in HCD’s prior review, the City does not have a zone to permit emergency shelters without discretionary action and HCD cannot find the element in compliance until the appropriate zoning is available.

City is adopting a zoning code amendment to fully
comply with AB 2339 in XX, 2024.

Group Homes: The element must demonstrate appropriate zoning and permit procedures to facilitate approval of group homes for seven or more persons.

Specifically, the element should include a program to allow these uses in all zones allowing residential uses and only subject to requirements similar to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone, including not being subject to a use permit.

Program H-1c: Accessibility for Persons with
Disabilities has been revised to:
• Amend the Municipal Code to allow group
homes (licensed or non-licensed) without a
conditional or administrative use permit in
any residential zone, and only subject to
requirements similar to other residential
uses of the same type in the same zone. The
City will establish permit procedures to
facilitate approval of group homes without a
conditional or administrative use permit.
• Amend the Municipal Code to remove
regulations that isolate and regulate various

Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
Section 1: Introduction
A. Role of the Housing Element
The Housing Element is a state mandated chapter of the Hemet General Plan; it identifies and analyzes the City’s housing needs and includes a detailed outline and work program of the City’s goals, policies, and quantified objectives. The Housing Element also addresses the maintenance and expansion of the housing supply to accommodate households currently living and expected to live in Hemet in the housing cycle. Through research and analysis, the Housing Element identifies available candidate housing sites and establishes the City’s official housing policies and programs to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals as determined by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).

The programs and policies established within the Housing Element guide future decision-making to achieve the City’s housing goals for the 2021-2029 planning period.

B. State Policy and Authorization

1. Background
As a mandated chapter of the Hemet General Plan, the Housing Element must meet all requirements of existing state law. Goals, programs and policies, and quantified objectives within the Housing Element consistent with state law are implemented within a timeline to ensure the City accomplishes the identified actions.

2. State Requirements
California State Housing Element Law (California Government Code Article 10.6) establishes the requirements for the Housing Element. State Law requires that local governments review and revise the Housing Element of their comprehensive General Plans once every eight years.

The California Legislature has adopted an overall housing goal for the State to ensure every resident has a decent home and suitable living environment. Section 65580 of the California Government Code states:
a) The availability of housing is of vital statewide importance, and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every Californian, including farmworkers, is a priority of the highest order.
b) The early attainment of this goal requires cooperative participation of government and the private sector in an effort to expand housing opportunities and accommodate the housing needs of Californians in all economic levels.
c) The provisions of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income households requires the cooperation of all levels of the government.
d) Local and State governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The Legislature recognizes that in carrying out this responsibility, each local government also has the responsibility to consider economic,

21.B.

Section 1: Introduction Page 1-3

environmental, and fiscal factors and community goals set forth in the general plan and to cooperate with other local governments and the state in addressing regional housing needs.

Section 1: Introduction Page 1-4
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
The City of Hemet’s current Housing Element was adopted on January 14, 2014 for the 5th Cycle 2014- 2021 planning period. The next 6th Cycle Housing Element will plan for the 2021-2029 planning period.

Multiple amendments have been made to State Housing Element law since the adoption of the current Housing Element. These amendments change the required analysis, reporting and type of policies that must be contained in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element. The contents of this Housing Element comply with these amendments to State housing law and all other Federal, State, and local requirements.

3. Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
California’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is methodology for determining future housing need, by income category, within the State and is based on growth in population, households, and employment. The statewide RHNA is determined under the administration of the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The quantified housing need is then allocated among the State’s 18 Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs). In the City of Hemet’s case, this agency is the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).

In accordance with Section 65583 of the California Government Code, SCAG then delegates a “fair share” of housing need to its member jurisdictions. The City of Hemet’s RHNA allocation is divided amongst four income categories, which are stated on the County of Riverside’s median income for a family of four. Table 1-2 below identifies the four income categories by which the City’s RHNA allocation is divided.

Table 1-2: Riverside County Income Categories
Income Category Percent of Median Family Income (MFI)
Very Low Income 0-50% MFI
Low Income 51-80% MFI
Moderate Income 81-120% MFI
Above Moderate Income >120% MFI
For the 2021-2029 planning period the City of Hemet is allocated a total of 6,466 units, including:
• 812 units affordable to very low-income households;
• 732 units affordable to low-income households;
• 1,174 units affordable to moderate-income households; and • 3,748 units affordable to above moderate-income households.

4. Relationship to Other General Plan Elements
The Housing Element is one of many Elements of the City’s General Plan. The goals, policies, actions, and programs within the Housing Element relate directly to, and are consistent with, all other elements in the City’s General Plan. The City’s Housing Element identifies programs and resources required for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing to meet the existing and projected needs of its population.

The Housing Element works in tandem with development policies contained in the Land Use Element. The Land Use Element establishes the location, type, intensity, and distribution of land uses throughout the City, and defines the land use build-out potential. By designating residential development, the Land Use

21.B.

Section 1: Introduction Page 1-5
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
Element places an upper limit on the densities and types of housing units constructed in the City. The Land Use Element also identifies lands designated for a range of other uses, including employment creating uses, open space, and public uses. The presence and potential for jobs affects the current and future demand for housing at the various income levels in the City.

The City’s Transportation Element also affects the implementation of the Housing Element. The Transportation Element establishes policies for a balanced circulation system in the City. The Transportation Element aims to reduce the impacts of transportation on the region’s environment and provide a variety of options so individuals can choose to travel by car, bicycle, foot, or public transportation. Consequently, the Housing Element must include policies and incentives that consider the types of infrastructure essential for residential housing units in addition to mitigating the effects of growth in the City.

The Housing Element has been reviewed for consistency with the City’s other General Plan Chapters, and the policies and programs in this Element are consistent with the policy direction contained in other parts of the General Plan. As portions of the General Plan are amended in the future, the Housing Element will be reviewed to ensure that internal consistency is maintained.

5. Public Participation
Public participation is a vital component to the Housing Element update process. Public engagement creates opportunities for community members to provide their input and feedback, information which then directs the Housing Element’s goals, policies and programs. Section 65583 of the Government Code requires local governments to make diligent and continued efforts to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community. Meaningful community participation ensures that a variety of stakeholders and community members are offered a platform to engage in the City’s planning process.

As part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update process, the City has conducted public outreach activities beginning in Spring 2020. These outreach efforts included virtual workshops, City Council and Planning Commission study sessions, and digital media. Project materials, including summaries from community workshops and public meetings, notices, and draft public review documents are available on the City’s website.

Outreach for the 6th Cycle Housing Element to the community, includes the following actions:
• Housing Element Update webpage with all housing materials available in English and in Spanish, located at: http://www.hemetca.gov/1029/Housing-Element-Update • Virtual Community Workshop #1 and the recorded presentation posted on the City’s webpage • Joint City Council and Planning Commission Study Session • Virtual Community Workshop #2 and the recorded presentation posted on the City’s webpage Appendix C contains a summary of all public comments regarding the Housing Element received by the City during the update process. As required by Government Code Section 65585(b)(2), all written comments regarding the Housing Element made by the public have previously been provided to each member of the City Council.

COMMUNITY PROFILE

21.B.

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-2
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
Section 2: Community Profile
The Community Profile provides an overview of the City’s housing and population conditions which are the foundation for policies and programs within with the Housing Element. The City of Hemet strives to achieve a balanced housing stock that meets the varied needs of all income segments of the community.

To understand the City’s housing needs, the nature of the existing housing stock and the housing market are comprehensively evaluated. This section of the Housing Element discusses the major components of housing needs in Hemet, including population, household, economic and housing stock characteristics.

These components are presented in a regional context nearby communities when relevant. This assessment serves as the basis for identifying the appropriate goals, policies, and programs for the City to implement during the 2021-2029 Housing Element cycle.

A. Population Characteristics
It is important to understand the characteristics of a population to appropriately plan for the future needs of a community. Issues such as population growth, race, ethnicity, age, and employment trends influence the type and extent of housing needed. This also indicates the local population’s ability to afford housing.

The following section analyzes the various population characteristics and trends that affect housing need.

1. Population Growth
Table 2-1 provides the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2016-2040 Regional Growth Forecast population projections through 2040. City of Hemet’s population is forecast to increase

54.4 percent through 2040. Compared to the rest of the County, Hemet’s population is forecast to grow

9.3 percent more than surrounding cities. The City’s population growth rate isforecast to be greater than adjacent cities of San Jacinto and Perris and the County of Riverside.

2. Age Characteristics
Housing demand is influenced by unique preferences of different age groups. Interest in housing type may vary by the type of household (age, family/non-family, etc.). Younger and middle-aged persons mays seek homes that accommodate needs of a growing household, while older persons may look to downsize to lower maintenance homes1. For example, seniors may favor apartments, low to moderate-cost condominiums, and smaller or more affordable single-family units because they tend to live on smaller or fixed incomes and have smaller families. Persons aged 35 and 65 years make up a major portion of the homebuyer market for moderate to high cost apartments and condominiums because they generally have higher incomes and larger families. As a population moves through different age cohorts, housing needs may change. Housing in a community should accommodate the changing needs throughout these different age cohorts.

In 2010, those 65 years of age or older represented the largest percentage of the population. In 2019, persons between 5 and 19 years of age represented the largest percent of the population. Figure 2-1 shows that between 2010 and 2019 distribution of age within the total population has been relatively stable. Hemet has a large young population and a large aging population. The percentage of children and young adults under 19 has remained relatively stable, from 29.1 percent in 2010 to 29 percent in 2019.

Persons over the age of 50 have increased from 38.4 percent in 2010 to 38.6 percent in 2019.

Figure 2-1: Age Distribution (2010-2019)
Source: American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates, 2010, 2015, 2019.

Table 2-2 shows that Hemet’s most populous age group is between 5 and 19 years and represents 22.3 percent of the population in 2019. This trend is consistent with the County and the Cities of San Jacinto, Menifee, and Perris. All jurisdictions listed in Table 2-2, except Perris, have the lowest percentages of persons under the age of 5.

3. Racial and Ethnic Characteristics
Equal opportunity for housing is an important component in the provision of housing units within jurisdictions. Racial and ethnic characteristics assist in identifying potential housing needs across racial and ethnic groups within Hemet. The Housing Element contains a further discussion of race and ethnicity in the Fair Housing analysis within Section 3.

Figure 2-2 illustrates the racial and ethnic composition of the City of Hemet. Hemet’s 2019 population consists of 40.7 percent identifying as White, followed by 8.3 percent of individuals identifying as Some Other Race. Compared to Riverside County, Hemet has larger percentages of White and Black or African American populations. Those who identify as American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander represent the smallest racial groups in Hemet and Riverside County. Hemet’s American Indian/Alaska Native population is approximately .5 percent greater than Riverside County’s.

Persons of all races identifying as Hispanic or Latino is shown in Figure 2-2. The City of Hemet has a slightly lower population of individuals identifying as Hispanic or Latino (45.8 percent compared to Riverside County (48.9 percent).

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-6
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
Demographic characteristics of Hemet may affect different housing needs, choices, and desires. Housing needs may vary between ethnic or racial groups due to different cultural norms or preferences. For example, a particular culture may choose to live in a household with multiple generations (grandchildren, parents, grandparents), requiring larger housing units.

B. Economic Characteristics
Income and economic characteristics vary throughout Hemet and generate demand for housing units and housing types. Housing need at different income levels highlights the importance of developing and maintaining a diverse housing stock. In addition, as employment in the City increases, housing demand typically rises as well. This may result in a need for additional housing units.

1. Employment and Wage Scale
Employment characteristics within a city can directly affect housing need and trends. Employment and income affect the ability of the population to purchase housing and may influence the types of housing they are able to purchase. Table 2-4 summarizes projected employment growth for Hemet and its surrounding cities along with Riverside County from 2012 to 2040. The data is projection data from SCAG’s 2016-2040 Final Growth Forecast. The Growth Forecast considers past and recent trends, regional growth policies, and reasonable key technical assumptions to project population, household, and employment figures for the region. According to SCAG, the figures are calculated using a regional share of the national population and employment forecasts. Additionally, the forecasts account for births, people moving into the region, deaths, the number of people leaving the region, as well as patterns of migration.

Hemet is estimated to experience an employment growth rate of 116.7 percent (24,500 new employed Hemet residents) between 2012 and 2040. Hemet’s employment growth rate is about 26 percent more than the County but is lower than projected growth in San Jacinto and Menifee. Job growth is an opportunity for cities to add housing options for the current and future workforce.

Analyzing unemployment rate provides insight into current and future housing affordability and needs.

According to 2019 ACS survey data, Hemet has the largest unemployment rate compared to neighboring cities and Riverside County. This reflects approximately 3.7 percent more than the City of San Jacinto, and about 5.5 percent more than neighboring cities and Riverside County. The City of Menifee has the lowest unemployment rate listed in Table 2-6.

Table 2-6: Unemployment Rates (2019)

Hemet 12.9%
Menifee 7.3%
Perris 7.4%
Riverside County 7.5%

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-8
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
According to SCAG’s approved Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Methodology, housing needs by income are broken down into four income levels:
• Very Low Income (50 percent or less of the County’s median income) • Low Income (50-80 percent of the County’s median income) • Moderate Income (80-120 percent of the County’s median income) • Above Moderate Income (120 and above of the County’s median income) Riverside County’s median income for 2019 was $67,005, according to ACS data. Table 2-7 shows the occupations that fall below 50 percent of this amount are Sales and Related Occupations; Building and Grounds Cleaning and Maintenance Occupations; Personal Care and Service Occupations; Healthcare Support Occupations; Food Preparation and Serving Related Occupations; Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Occupations. Most occupations in Riverside County have an average income that is either low or very low.

If this trend is applied to Hemet, it should be anticipated that affordable housing stock is needed to accommodate potential income levels.

C. Household Characteristics
This section analyzes household trends for Hemet and provides useful information for planning the future housing needs of the City. A household consists of a house and its occupants. This could include single occupants, families, or unrelated people sharing a housing unit. Financial housing statistics such as income, affordability, and special needs groups are commonly measured at the household level. Special needs groups may include large families, single parent households, or low and extremely low-income households. These groups often present unique housing conditions and are analyzed to inform policies within Section 4: Housing Plan.

1. Household Type and Size
Table 2-8 and Figure 2-4 display ACS data from 2019 on household characteristics for Hemet and neighboring cities. The ACS reported a total of 28,893 households in Hemet as of 2019. Of these households, just under half are married-couple family households (45 percent) and 35 percent are nonfamily households. Non-family households include persons living alone and persons living with roommates. Female headed households without a spouse present also represent just under 15 percent of the Hemet households.

2. Household Income
Household income is directly connected to affordability. The ability to afford a higher priced housing unit typically increases as household income increases. This may include increased access to a larger sized unit and/or the ability to move from a rental to an ownership opportunity. However, lower income households are more likely to utilize a disproportionate amount of their income toward housing costs. This may result in incidences of overcrowding and substandard living conditions.

The California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has identified the following income categories based on the Median Family Income (MFI) of Riverside County:
• Very Low-Income: households earning between 0 and 50 percent of the MFI • Low-Income: households earning between 51 percent and 80 percent of the MFI • Moderate Income: households earning between 81 percent and 120 percent of the MFI • Above Moderate Income: households earning over 120 percent of the MFI State law also defines extremely low-income as households earning 30 percent or less of the MFI and are considered a subset of the very low-income category. Combined, the extremely low, very low, and lowincome groups are referred to as lower income.

Hemet’s household income characteristics directly inform the housing types that would be most beneficial to the City’s population. Income characteristics assist in determining to what degree affordable housing is required to meet the needs of a population. Further, above average income levels allow for the occupancy of larger housing units. Table 2-12 shows the lower income categories represent 58.4 percent of households in Hemet and moderate to above moderate-income category represents 41.6 percent.

D. Housing Problems
The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides detailed information on housing needs by income level for different types of households in Hemet. The most recent available CHAS data for Hemet was published in August 2020 and was based on 2013-2017 ACS data (Table 2-14). Housing problems considered by CHAS includes:
• The four housing problems are: incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities, more than 1 person per room, and cost burden greater than 30%. • The four severe housing problems are: incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities, more than 1 person per room, and cost burden greater than 50%. • Cost burden is the ratio of housing costs to household income. For renters, housing cost is gross rent contract rent plus utilities). For owners, housing cost is "select monthly owner costs", which includes mortgage payment, utilities, association fees, insurance, and real estate taxes.

Table 2-14 shows that a greater percentage of renters’ experience housing problems than homeowners.

Approximately 63.9 percent of renters in Hemet have at least 1 of 4 housing problems and about 43.4 percent have at least 1 of 4 severe housing problems. Conversely, 34.7 percent of homeowner households have a housing problem and about 17 percent have at least 1 severe housing problem. In total, a little over half of households in Hemet live with at least 1 housing problem and 28.2 percent live with at least 1 severe housing problem.

1. Overcrowding
Overcrowded households include more than one occupant per room (excluding bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and porches). Severely overcrowded households have more than 1.5 persons per room. A number of factors may cause overcrowding, including a lack of affordable housing (which forces more than one household to live together) and/or a lack of available housing units of adequate size.

Overcrowding in households can lead to neighborhood deterioration. This is due to the intensive use of individual housing units and may result in excessive wear and tear and the potential cumulative overburdening of community infrastructure and service capacity. Overcrowding in neighborhoods can lead to an overall decline in social cohesion and environmental quality. Such decline may spread geographically and impact the quality of life, the economic value of property, and the vitality of commerce within a city. The combination of lower incomes and high housing costs may result in households living in overcrowded housing conditions.

Table 2-15 shows that renters are more disproportionately impacted by overcrowding than owner occupied households. Three percent of households are renter occupied and severely overcrowded, while approximately one percent are owner occupied and severely overcrowded. In total, about 13 percent of Hemet households are overcrowded with renters representing 9.1 percent of that amount.

2. Overpayment (Cost Burden) in Relation to Income
State and federal standards indicate that a household paying more than 30 percent of its income for housing is overpaying. Severe overpayment is when greater than 50 percent of total income is allocated to housing costs. Overpayment for housing can cause an imbalance on the remainder of a household’s budget. Overpayment (also referred to as cost burden) provides an indicator of the ability to sustain a household budget in consideration of other factors beyond housing costs (utilities, food, maintenance, etc.). Whenever households pay an excessive amount of their income on costs directly related to housing, it decreases the amount of income available for other needs. This indicator is an important measurement of local housing market conditions as it reflects the affordability of housing in the community. Federal and state agencies utilize overpayment indicators to determine the amount of funding allocated to a community to assist with housing opportunities.

Table 2-17 below summarizes Hemet’s households in context of overpayment and household income. The majority of homeowners with a cost burden greater than 30 percent are those who have a household income between 50 and 80 percent of the HUD Median Family Income (MFI). Of owner households with a cost burden over 50 percent, most have earned below 30 percent of the MFI which would categorize those households and extremely low-income. As Table 2-17 shows, renters have higher percentages of overpayment than owners. About 9.5 percent of renter households who earn below 30 percent of the MFI experience a cost burden over 30 percent; 9 percent of those households experience a cost burden over 50 percent. Extremely low-income households are households that earn less than 30 percent of the MFI. Extremely low-income families experience the highest average cost burdens of all income categories.

Both owner and renter extremely low-income households are the most cost burdened.

1. Seniors
Individuals 65 years old or older are commonly referred to as seniors. Seniors may have limited incomed tied to retirement payments and high healthcare costs. Due in part to their age, seniors are also more susceptible to mobility issues and self-care limitations. Specific housing needs of the senior population includes affordable housing, supportive housing (such as intermediate care facilities), group homes, and other housing that includes a planned service component. Table 2-19 summarizes the senior population of Hemet, and neighboring cities and the County are included for reference. Hemet has the highestsenior

The senior population benefits from affordable housing as they often have fixed incomes that may not allow for the financial flexibility necessary to acquire suitable housing. Seniors may also face various disabilities. Smaller, more affordable housing units allow for a greater accommodation of senior lifestyles.

Key Challenges and Resources to Address Senior Housing Needs Seniors in Hemet generally have exhibited the following unique challenges to housing:
• Having limited and fixed incomes
• Disproportionately higher healthcare costs, adding monthly living costs • Require customized housing features due to mobility and selfcare limitations • Transit dependency
• Limited in-home support, due to living alone
To address these challenges, the City must consider a variety of solution to address the above issues, these may include:
• More affordable housing option for Seniors
• Supportive City programs to help sustain decent, safe, and affordable housing for dependent seniors
• Housing with included supportive services
• Group home option for persons with self-care limitations Resources currently available at the City include services and programs offered by the Riverside County Office of Aging. The Riverside County Office of Aging offers the following resources:
• Meals for seniors offered at resource centers throughout the County as well as meal delivery for eligible homebound seniors.
• Support services for seniors and their family caretakers including service consultation, homemaker assistance, peer support, and help with transportation, rent, and respite care. • Group physical activities and classes for improved safety and healthy lifestyle choices. • Emergency utility assistance and transportation and resource linkage.

Section 3.E.3 of this Housing Element includes an analysis of deed-restricted affordable housing units and affordable units at-risk of converting to market-rate. The City of Hemet currently has two affordable housing projects for senior residents. The Oasis Senior includes 64 deed-restricted affordable housing units reserve3d for low-income senior through 2050. The Sahara Senior includes 74 deed-restricted affordable housing units for seniors through 2048.

To address the unique needs of senior residents living in the City, the following 5 programs have been included in Section 4:
• Program H-1c: Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities • Program H-1d: Special Housing Needs
• Program H-1f: Housing for Extremely Low-Income Households • Program H-4a: Provide Rehabilitation Loans and Senior repair Grants • Program H-5b: Preserve Existing Assisted Units

21.B.

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-20
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
The City will continue providing housing resources to its senior population through community partnerships and by facilitation the development of senior housing units.

2. Persons with Physical and Developmental Disabilities Physical and developmental disabilities can hinder access to traditional housing units and may limit the ability to earn adequate income. Physical, mental, and/or developmental disabilities may deprive a person from earning income, restrict one’s mobility, or make self-care difficult. Persons with disabilities often have special housing needs related to limited earning capacity, a lack of accessible and affordable housing, and higher health costs associated with a disability. Some residents may also have disabilities that require living in a supportive or assisted-living setting.

Ambulatory difficulty is the most widespread disability in Hemet. Ambulatory difficulties relate to issues with walking and movement. Approximately 30 percent of Hemet’s disabled population have ambulatory difficulty. This represents 12.1 percent of the total population of Hemet. Vision Difficulty and Self-care Difficulty were the least common as shown in Table 2-22. Disabilities require different living conditions which inform housing needs for Hemet. Those with ambulatory difficulties may require smaller singlestory spaces due to a lack of ability to walk long distances.

Affordable and barrier-free housing may provide adequate housing opportunities for persons with disabilities. Rehabilitation assistance can target renters and homeowners with disabilities to modify and improve unit accessibility.

State law requires that the Housing Element discuss the housing needs of persons with developmental disabilities. As defined by federal law, “developmental disability” means a severe, chronic disability of an individual that:
• Is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or combination of mental and physical impairments;
• Is manifested before the individual attains age 22;
• Is likely to continue indefinitely;

21.B.

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-21
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
• Results in substantial functional limitations in three or more of the following areas of major life activity: a) self-care; b) receptive and expressive language; c) learning; d) mobility; e) selfdirection; f) capacity for independent living; or g) economic self- sufficiency; and • Reflects the individual’s need for a combination and sequence of special, interdisciplinary, or generic services, individualized supports, or other forms of assistance that are of lifelong or extended duration and are individually planned and coordinated.

According to the Inland Regional Center Total Annual Expenditures and Authorized Services Report for 2019 to 2020, a total of 34,122 individuals from the region with developmental disabilities received services. Of the 34,122 individuals, the majority were diagnosed with an intellectual disability (40.5 percent). The rest were diagnosed with autism (25.7 percent), Cerebral Palsy (2.5 percent), Epilepsy (1 percent), Category 5 (1.5 percent), and 28.6 percent with some other disability. Of those who received services, 22.7 percent were White, 3.4 percent were Asian, 9 percent were Black or African American, 0.2 percent were American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.1 percent were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and 30 percent were some other race. At 34.6 percent, over one third of those who received services identified as Hispanic or Latino. The largest age group who received services were over 22 years of age (38.3 percent), the rest were between 3 and 21 years of age (37.7 percent) and under the age of 2 (24 percent). Over 80 percent of individuals who received services lived at home with a parent or guardian.

According to the State of California Department of Development Services Consumer Count by California Zip Code for December 2020, a total of 1,226 individuals with a Hemet mailing address (92543, 92544, or 92545) received developmental disability services. Of the 1,226 individuals, 602 (49.1 percent) were under the age of 18 and 624 (50.9 percent) were over the age of 18. Approximately 84.3 percent of individuals who received services lived at home with a parent or guardian.

Many people with developmental disabilities can live and work independently within a conventional housing environment. Individuals with more severe developmental disabilities may require a group living environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided. The first issue in supportive housing for persons with developmental disabilities is the transition from the person’s living situation as a child to an appropriate level of independence as an adult as developmental disabilities exist before adulthood.

There are several housing types appropriate for people living with a development disability: rent subsidized homes, licensed and unlicensed single-family homes, inclusionary housing, Section 8 vouchers, special programs for home purchase, HUD housing, and SB 962 (veterans) homes. The design of housingaccessibility modifications, the proximity to services and transit, and the availability of group living opportunities represent some of the types of considerations that are important in serving the needs of this group. Incorporating ‘barrier-free’ design in all, new multi-family housing (as required by California and Federal Fair Housing laws) is especially important to provide the widest range of choices for residents with disabilities. Special consideration should also be given to the affordability of housing, as people with disabilities may be living on a fixed income.

Key Challenges and Resources to Address Persons with Physical/Developmental Disabilities
Persons with physical and developmental disabilities in Hemet have exhibited the following unique challenges to housing:
• Need for specialized housing to accommodate disabilities • Higher incidence of dependent living needs
• High incidence of unemployment and having fixed income • Need for supportive services
To address these challenges, the City should consider a variety of solutions to address the above issues.

These may include:
• Regional coordination and support for services
• Prioritization of services for disabled persons
• Local supportive services to supplement physical housing needs • Housing regulation and or accommodation of unique housing needs • Group home housing options for persons with self-care limitations Resources to address the above needs include the County of Riverside’s Disability Office, Network of Care, and Department of Public Social Services. All of these County wide groups offer various supportive services such as information regarding federal and state programing and linkage and referrals to regional disability resources. Additionally, the City has a reasonable accommodation procedure that is intended to grant accommodations for persons with disabilities.

Section 3.E.3 of this Housing Element includes an analysis of deed-restricted affordable housing units and affordable units at-risk of converting to market-rate. The City of Hemet currently has one affordable housing projects for persons with disabilities. Ability First includes 17 deed-restricted affordable housing units for persons with disabilities through 2059.

To further address the unique needs of persons with disabilities living in the City, the following four programs have been included in Section 4:
• Program H-1C: Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities • Program H-1d: Special Housing Needs
• Program H-4a: Provide Rehabilitation Loans and Senior Repair Grants • Program H-5b: Preserve Existing Assisted Units

3. Large Households
Large households are households of five or more individuals. Procuring resources for a large household requires a greater portion of income. This may lead households to find smaller, more affordable housing units. Such units may not be large enough to adequately contain a large household and may lead to overcrowding. It may be more challenging for renters to secure larger housing units as multi-family rental units are typically smaller than single-family ownership units. Many apartment complexes do not typically

21.B.

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-23
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
have 4- or 5-bedroom units. As bedroom count increases, the affordability of a housing unit typically decreases.

In Hemet, large households represent about 14 percent of all households as shown in Table 2-23. Of this amount, owners represent a higher percentage of large households at 55.6 percent. Five-person households are more common for both owners and renters. In total, 6- person households represent a larger portion of large households than 7-or-more-person households. The provision of affordable housing may alleviate potential overcrowding burdens experienced by these households.

Key Challenges and Resources to Address Large Person Households Large person households in Hemet have exhibited the following unique challenges to housing:
• Lack of affordable housing with sufficient bedroom counts • Options for larger bedroom counts in rental units
• Higher monthly cost burden
• Affordable options for large family households
• Childcare needs for working families
To address these challenges, the City must consider a variety of solutions to address the above issues.

These may include:
• Permitting of large bedroom counts in ownership and rental units • Affordable housing options for large family households • Prioritization of family-sized units in affordable housing developments • Leveraging of grants and funding opportunities
Resources to address the above needs include programs that support the leveraging of LIHTC opportunities, State, Federal, and private funs focused on multiple family development. Regional resources include SCHFA funding, County of Riverside Continuum of Care, and the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside funding. The City has included Program H-1d: Special Housing Needs, to support the development of low-cost housing options for special needs groups, including large families, through regulatory incentives, zoning standards, housing rehabilitation, and supportive service programs.

4. Single-Parent Households
Single parent households face different challenges due to the greater need for daycare services, health care services, and other services. An issue observed for female headed households with no male present is a lower average income due to income inequalities present in workplaces. Table 2-24 estimates that single-parent female households with no spouse present more than double, compared to the number of single-parent male households with no spouse present (21.8 percent and 9 percent, respectively). Both percentages are greater than in Riverside County. Compared to the County, Hemet single-parents female households living in poverty represent a total of the population that is almost twice as much as Riverside County.

Key Challenges and Resources to Address Single Parent Households Single Parent Households in Hemet have exhibited the following unique challenges to housing:
• Affordable housing options
• Rental and for dale housing options
• Higher monthly cost burdens with single-income families • Childcare needs for working families
To address these challenges, the City must consider a variety of solutions to address the above issues.

These may include:
• Affordable housing options doe single-income families • Accessibility to childcare options
• Leveraging of grants and funding opportunities
Resources to support single-parent households are offered by the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program through the Hemet Unified School District. The program currently offers the SAFE/ZONE After School Program for children in transitional kindergarten through 8th grand and CHAMPS Recreational Enrichment program for children in transitional kindergarten through 5th grade. The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program also offers special programing during non-school days. Additionally, the Riverside County Office of Education offers a resource and referral databased for licensed childcare throughout the County as well as subsided support for childcare services for families who meet the eligibility criteria.

The City has included Program H-1d: Special Housing Needs, to support the development of low-cost housing options for special needs groups, including single-parent households, through regulatory incentives, zoning standards, housing rehabilitation, and supportive service programs.

5. Farmworkers
Farmworkers are traditionally defined as persons whose primary incomes are earned through permanent or seasonal agricultural labor. Permanent farm laborers work in the fields, processing plants, or support activities on a generally year-round basis. The labor force is supplemented by seasonal workers when workload increases during harvest periods. Certain farms may hire migrant workers. Migrant workers have unique housing needs as their travel may prevent them from returning to their primary residence every evening. Farm workers also have special housing needs because they earn lower incomes than many other workers and move throughout the year from one harvest location to the next.

The United States Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Statistics provides data on hired farm labor across the United States. The data is compiled at both a State and County level. Within Riverside County, there were a total of 11,365 hired farm workers in 2017. A total of 2,374 were considered permanent workers (working 150 days or more per year), 1,132 were considered seasonal workers (working less than 150 days per year), 1,684 were migrant workers farmworkers, and 2,058 were unpaid workers.

According to the California Employment Development Department, the average farm worker (Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Occupation) in Riverside County earned a median annual income of $25,723. This annual income would place each individual or household in the very low-income bracket for Hemet.

Limited income may be exacerbated by farm worker’s tenuous and/or seasonal employment status. These employees and their households may reside in severely overcrowded dwellings, in packing buildings, or in storage sheds. Future housing in Hemet may need to consider the needs of farm workers employed in and near the City.

Key Challenges and Resources to Address Farmworker Housing Needs Farmworker households in Hemet have exhibited the following unique challenges to housing:
• Affordable housing options
• Higher incidents of cost burden for housing
• Rental and for sale housing options
Similar to other special needs groups, Farmworkers needs are focused on affordability of housing and access to services that support lower monthly overall costs. To address these challenges the City must consider a variety of solution to address the above issues. There may include:
• Affordable housing options for farmworkers
• Leveraging grants and funding opportunities
The City has included Program H-1g: Agricultural Employee and Farmworker Housing which will amend the City’s Municipal Code to comply with the provisions for farmworker housing set forth in the Employee

21.B.

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-26
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
Housing Act. Additionally, Section 4 includes a number of Housing Programs which promote the development of affordable housing units throughout the City which may be available to Farmworkers.

6. Extremely Low-Income Households and Poverty Status
The 2013-2017 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data indicates there were approximately 10,200 very low-income households living in Hemet. Very low-income households are those households that earn 50 percent or less of the median family income (MFI) for Riverside County.

Extremely low-income households (ELI) are those households which earn less than 30 percent of the MFI.

ELIs have a variety of housing needs so assisting ELI households is required in order to affirmatively further fair housing in Hemet. There are approximately 5,435 extremely low-income households in Hemet (renters and owners). Table 2-25 below includes data characterizing affordability and cost burden for various income groups.

A total of 1,495 extremely low-income households in Hemet live in owner-occupied housing units with at least one of the four housing problems. The housing problems identified by CHAS include the following:
• Units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or bathroom); • Overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per room); • Housing cost burdens, including utilities, exceeding 30 percent of gross income; or • Severe housing cost burdens, including utilities, exceeding 50 percent of gross income.

Moderate income households also occupy the smallest amount of owner households with at least one of the four housing problems. For owner occupied units, households with low income levels occupy the most housing units with at least one housing problem (1,595 households). In contrast, renters earning an extremely low income have the most housing units with at least one housing problem (2,825). As the income goes up for renters, the number of housing units with a housing problem goes down.

To calculate the projected new RHNA housing needs, the City assumed 50 percent of its very low-income regional housing need are extremely low-income households. Calculating from the very low-income need of 812 units, the City has an estimated need of 406 housing units for extremely low-income households.

Extremely low-income household needs will likely be focused to rental housing and more likely to experience overpayment, overcrowding or substandard housing conditions and more likely to include transitional and supportive housing.

Despite representing only 0.4 percent of the Hemet population, the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone population is estimated to have one of the highest rates of poverty in Hemet in 2019 (74.8 percent). The case is the same for those identifying as American Indian and Alaska Native alone, Black or African American alone, and Some other race alone. Conversely, the White population represents three quarters of the City’s residents yet has a poverty level of 20.2 percent. The values shown in Figure 2-7 outline potential differences in housing needs based on poverty status for different racial and ethnic groups within the City.

• Higher incidents of homelessness
• Higher likelihood for transitional and supportive housing Extremely Low-Income household needs are focused on affordability of housing and access to subsidies and services that support lower monthly overall costs. To address these challenges, Hemet must consider a variety of solutions to address the above issues: these may include:
• Affordable housing options for Extremely low-income households • Preservation of subsidized housing units
• Creation of additional subsidized housing units
• Housing with a service component
• Transitional, Supportive and Homeless housing options Resources to address the needs of Extremely Low-Income households include a variety of federal, state and regional programs, such as Section 8, HUD, LIHTC USDA, CalHFA and other public and private funding sources.

To address the housing needs of extremely low-income households, the City will adopt housing programs to facilitate construction of housing for extremely low-income households and supportive housing. While many programs will benefit ELI households, Program H-1F: Housing for Extremely Low-Income (ELI) Households and Program H-5c: Riverside County Housing Choice Vouchers will directly impact ELI households. All Housing Programs can be found in Section 4: Housing Plan. This effort is designed to identify the range of local resources and assistance needed to facilitate the development of housing for extremely low-income households, and promote a variety of housing types, including higher density, multifamily supportive, single room occupancy and shared housing.

7. Persons Experiencing Homelessness
Homelessness is an important issue within California. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include increased unemployment and underemployment, a lack of housing affordable to lower and moderate-income persons (especially extremely low-income households), reductions in public subsidies to the poor, a lack of assistance for those struggling with addiction, and the de-institutionalization of the mentally ill.

State law mandates that jurisdictions address the special needs of persons experiencing homelessness within their jurisdictional boundaries. “Homelessness” as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was recently updated. The following lists the updated definition of homelessness:
• People who are living in a place not meant for human habitation, in emergency shelter, in transitional housing, or are exiting an institution where they temporarily resided. The only significant change from existing practice is that people will be considered homeless if they are exiting an institution where they resided for up to 90 days (it was previously 30 days) and were in a shelter or a place not meant for human habitation immediately prior to entering that institution.

21.B.

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-30
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
• People who are losing their primary nighttime residence, which may include a motel or hotel or a doubled-up situation, within 14 days and lack resources or support networks to remain in housing.

HUD had previously allowed people who were being displaced within 7 days to be considered homeless. The proposed regulation also describes specific documentation requirements for this category.
• Families with children or unaccompanied youth who are unstably housed and likely to continue in that state. This is a new category of homelessness, and it applies to families with children or unaccompanied youth who have not had a lease or ownership interest in a housing unit in the last 60 or more days, have had two or more moves in the last 60 days, and who are likely to continue to be unstably housed because of disability or multiple barriers to employment. • People who are fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, have no other residence, and lack the resources or support networks to obtain other permanent housing. This category is similar to the current practice regarding people who are fleeing domestic violence.

This definition does not include persons living in substandard or overcrowded housing units, persons being discharged from mental health facilities (unless the person was homeless when entering and is considered to be homeless at discharge), or persons who may be at risk of homelessness (for example, living temporarily with family or friends).

Table 2-27 shows the population of persons experiencing homelessness on a regional level, in Hemet, and in the surrounding cities. Hemet experienced a 12 percent increase in its homeless population between 2018 and 2020. San Jacinto also saw an increase (244.4 percent), but Menifee and Perris decreased by

13.6 percent and 45.3 percent, respectively. Riverside County saw an increase of about 27.9 percent in people experiencing homelessness over these 3 years.

According to the Riverside County Homeless Point-In-Time Count, there were an estimated 63 unhoused persons in 2021. The PIT count for Riverside County is done for Supervisory Districts, for Hemet, this includes Murrieta, San Jacinto, and Temecula. Overall, the 46 unhouse persons in Hemet account for about 73% of the overall Supervisory District 3 count of 63 persons. When contextualized with the total number of people residing in Hemet, the 46 homeless individuals represent approximately 0.05% of the population.

21.B.

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-31
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
The demographic data for unhoused persons is not broken down by jurisdictions, however for the 63 unhoused persons in the Supervisory District 3, 38 percent experienced chronic homelessness.

Additionally, 44 persons identified as White, 14 persons identified as Black, one (1) person identified as American India and three (3) persons identified as Native Hawaiian. About 27 percent of the people survey were seniors (60 years+) and about 27 percent were under the age of 24. Thirty-five percent of unhoused persons experience mental health conditions and 5 percent recorded substance abuse.2 Key Challenges and Resources to Address Persons Experiencing Homelessness The City of Hemet partners with the County of Riverside Continuum of Care (CoC) administered by the Housing, Homelessness Prevention and Workforce Solutions Department of the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside. The Riverside CoC provides homeless assistance funding, coordination, and programs.

The CoC has a network of more than 140 private and public sector organizations and homeless service providers designed to promote community-wide planning and the strategic use of resources to address homelessness in the County.

Additionally, the City of Hemet partners with Valley Restart Shelter which is located in the City and houses 35 beds for persons experiencing homelessness. Other regional homeless shelters that serve the people of Riverside County include the Salvation Army Emergency Shelter, Temecula Murrieta Rescue Mission, and Project T.O.U.C.H. The Salvation Army Emergency Shelter is located in the City of Hemet and provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, food and nutrition programs, as well as emergency financial assistance. The Temecula Murrieta Rescue Mission is located in Temecula and offers shelter, food and clothing to persons experiencing homelessness as well as education, job training, and health care. Project T.O.U.C.H. is also located in Temecula and offers transitional housing with 225 beds as well as local winter emergency shelter between December and April.

The City has included Program H-1b: Emergency Shelters and Homeless Facilities to address the needs of persons experiencing homelessness. The Program continues the City’s coordination with the County of Riverside Valley Restart and other applicable service providers to address the needs of persons experiencing homelessness. In addition, Program H-1d: Special Housing Needs and Program H-1e:

Supportive Housing and Low Barrier Navigation Center address special housing needs as well as supportive housing and low barrier navigation center needs for persons experiencing homelessness.

8. Students
Student housing is another need impacting housing demand. Student housing often only produces a temporary housing need based on the duration of the educational institution enrolled in. The impact on housing demand is often increased in areas surrounding universities and colleges. According to the American Community Survey 2019 data, there are approximately 4,575 Hemet residents enrolled in college or graduate school. College graduates provide a specialized pool of skilled labor that is vital to the economy. However, a lack of affordable housing may lead to their departure post-graduation. 2 Riverside County Homeless Point-in-Time Count, Riverside County Health Informatic, 2020 and 2021.

Section 2: Hemet Community Profile Page 2-32
Hemet | 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (2021-2029)
Key Challenges and Resources to Address Student Housing Needs Typically, students are low-income and are, therefore, affected by a lack of affordable housing. It is important for the City to consider and accommodate the student population within the community especially when available housing is not within an easy commuting distance from campus. Students often seek shared housing situation to decrease expenses and can be assisted through roommate referral services on and off campus. A lack of affordable housing also influences choices students make after graduating.

F. Housing Stock Characteristics
Hemet’s housing stock includes all housing units located within its jurisdiction. Housing stock growth, type, age and condition, tenure, vacancy rates, costs, and affordability are all important factors in determining the housing needs of the community. This section details the housing stock characteristics of Hemet to identify how well the current housing stock meets the needs of current and future residents of the City.

1. Housing Growth
Table 2-28 shows growth trends for housing units in Hemet and surrounding cities. The data shown in the table reflects ACS 5-year estimates and is not based on true City reported figures. An evaluation of the existing development and development opportunities is outlined in Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources, and AFFH. The number of housing units in Hemet have increased slightly between 2010 and 2015. In 2019, the estimated housing units for the City are lower than those in 2015 – this does not reflect a true loss of units, but rather estimations.

2. Housing Type
Table 2-29 summarizes the available housing units in Hemet and Riverside County by housing type. As of 2019, single-unit detached homes made up the majority of the Hemet’s housing stock (48 percent). Singleunit attached homes, which include townhomes and condominiums, made up another 4.4 percent. Multiunit developments, such as apartments, made up 19.8 percent of the housing stock and 26.8 percent were mobile homes. In comparison to the rest of the County, Hemet has a higher percentage of mobile homes and a lower percentage of single-unit detached homes.

3. Housing Availability and Tenure
Household size differs between renter and owner-occupied housing units. Owner-occupied units trend towards larger households compared to renter-occupied units. Homeowners typically have a greater income than renters and therefore have more expendable income to afford purchasing a home. In addition, family households generally occupy larger housing units such as single-unit homes. The City of Hemet’s housing stock includes 16,905 owner occupied housing units and 11,988 renter occupied housing units, as shown in Table 2-30. The large majority of owner-occupied homes are single-unit detached structures, while for renters the majority are multi-unit developments.

As Table 2-31 shows, the City of Hemet trends towards smaller household size when compared to neighboring cities, having the smallest average household size. An average household size of 2.9 points towards a need for large housing units, thus explaining the higher percentage of single-unit detached homes in the City. The average household size for owner and renter households in Hemet are similar (3.02 and 2.81, respectively). The City of Perris has the highest average household size at 4.49 and a renter occupied household size of 4.46. Riverside County’s overall household size of 3.28 reflects a moderate person difference with Hemet.

Hemet has one of the highest vacancy rates of the neighboring cities (Figure 2-8). At 11.1 percent, Hemet’s vacancy rate is about .1 percent below San Jacinto but 2.7 percent below Riverside County. Perris has the lowest vacancy rate at 6.5 percent below Hemet’s (4.6 percent). Of Hemet’s vacant units, a large portion are vacant for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use, according to ACS data (28.8 percent). An equally large portion of Hemet’s vacant units are vacant for unknown reasons (28 percent). Table 2-32 shows that just under 16 percent of vacant units are up for rent and 25.2 percent are either on the market or have already been sold but are not yet occupied. Additional housing units can be found by improving the development of additional dwelling units on vacant parcels or the development of vacant parcels to accommodate expanded housing units.

4. Housing Age and Condition
Housing age may affect the structural integrity of a house and can be an indicator of overall housing quality within a community. Housing that is over 30 years old is typically in need of some major rehabilitation, such as a new roof, foundation, plumbing, etc. Many federal and state programs also use the age of housing as one factor in determining housing rehabilitation needs.

stock would typically indicate that most of the City’s housing stock could require major rehabilitation. This does not include historical districts which are generally well preserved.

Figure 2-9 describes the age of Hemet’s housing stock. The figure reflects ACS survey data which is based on estimates and not recorded true figures. The data shows that the majority of the Hemet’s housing stock was built between 1970 and 2009. Housing units that were built over 30 years ago may typically benefit from upgrades or renovations, which is why it is important to check for the age of the housing stock. Based on the City’s waitlist and Code Compliance cases, approximately 208 units in the City of Hemet require rehabilitation or replacement.

Source: American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates, 2019.

Figure 2-10 below illustrates tenure by year the housing unit was built. This shows whether homeowner or renters occupy newer or older housing units. In Hemet’s case, homeowners occupy more newer units than renters. Given the higher percentage of renters in multi-family units, this may point towards the addition of new multi-family developments versus older, single-unit homes that are occupied by more homeowners.

5. Housing Costs and Availability
The median home value in Hemet is estimated to be $196,700. As the comparison in Table 2-33 shows, this is the lowest value compared to nearby cities and the County. Hemet’s median home value is approximately $153,400 less than Riverside County and $137,900 less than Menifee which has the highest value. Larger homes with higher prices are generally affordable to persons or households with moderate or above moderate incomes.
