Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element is the City’s 8-year housing strategy. This ambitious plan includes goals, policies, and implementation programs to further incentivize and support housing production at all income levels in order to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”) of 45,580 units by 2029 (Resolution No. 2021-0259). The Annual Progress Report details the progress made during the prior year in meeting Housing Element goals. The contents of the report are specified in state law, and include detailed reporting on planning approvals, building permits, and Housing Element program implementation. A summary of progress made in overall housing production over time can be found in Attachment 2-2023 Housing Production Summary. The 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Table B and Table D) can be found in Attachment 3.

Prior to review of 2023 housing production data, readers should note that new data points have been

added for the 2021 and 2022 calendar years that were unaccounted for in previous reporting years.

Due to the large amount of data processing required by the report, automated query processes were developed in 2020 to reduce staff time spent on report processing. During report development this year, an unknown error in the query was discovered that uncovered unaccounted for units from 2021 and 2022. These units are now accounted for in Attachments 2 and 3.

The 2023 housing production data shows that:
· There was a 7.5% decrease in overall housing production from 2022 to 2023, with 2,603 total units produced in 2023. This is approximately 45% of the 5,698 units that need to be built annually to meet the RHNA of 45,580 units over the eight-year planning period. Figure 1 in Attachment 2 shows total housing production in 2023 in comparison to past years. · In 2023, the city produced 763 units of low- and very low-income units including non-deed restricted units, accounting for 29% of total production. In 2023, the city produced 583 deed- restricted units of extremely-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income units, accounting for 22% of total production.
· As shown in Figure 2 of Attachment 2, the City met about half of its low-income target and surpassed its moderate income target, but fell shorter in production across the remaining income categories.
· ADU production increased 7% from 2022 (228 units) to 2023 (246 units).

In addition to providing the 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report to City Council, staff has provided an evaluation of implementation programs that have been completed thus far per Housing Element Implementation Program H22. Mid-Term Evaluation of Implementation Programs in Attachment 4. Staff conducted an evaluation of these programs and presented the evaluation to the Housing Policy Working Group on March 14, 2024. Based on the evaluation staff is not recommending making formal adjustments to implementation programs but is seeking City Council input on this recommendation and potential adjustments to implementation details and priorities. It should be noted that a Planning and Zoning Work Program is adopted by City Council each year that directs staff priorities and includes 2021-2029 Housing Element implementation programs. The 2024 Planning and Zoning Work Program was adopted by City Council on February 6, 2024 and directs staff to implement 8 Housing Element programs in 2024.

Policy Considerations: The Housing Element Annual Progress Report tracks the City’s progress in implementing the 2021-2029 Housing Element and addressing Sacramento’s housing needs through policies and programs.

Economic Impacts: Access to affordable housing improves community members’ ability to improve their economic status, reduces poverty and homelessness, and promotes social integration.

A strong and affordable housing environment is critical to the economic well-being and growth of Sacramento and its residents.

Commission/Committee Action: None.

Rationale for Recommendation: The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is required by the State of California to be completed on an annual basis. Housing Element Implementation Program H22. Mid-Term Evaluation of Implementation Programs commits the City in 2024 to evaluating the effectiveness of implementation programs in meeting their stated objectives.

Financial Considerations: None.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.

Background
Income Categorization Methodology
Units that are not deed-restricted are categorized using State Income Limits, dwelling unit size in square feet, and the average housing cost per square foot in 2023 for each zip code area in the city.

State Income Limits are used to calculate maximum rents and sale prices for the different income categories for a household of three for for-sale housing product types and a household size of 2 for rental housing product types. By multiplying the dwelling unit size and the average cost per square foot, the monthly housing cost and level of affordability for the unit can be estimated.

H1. Review
Mixed Income
Housing
Ordinance
The City shall evaluate the effectiveness of the Mixed Income Housing Ordinance (MIHO). The City shall conduct an
economic feasibility study to guide any decisions on changes to the ordinance, including the consideration of a mandatory inclusionary housing component. In this evaluation of the ordinance, the City will engage a broad range of stakeholders to ensure a variety of voices and interests are heard and considered. Based on the ﬁndings of the evaluation and the study, the City shall consider amendments to the ordinance with the goal of increasing the amount of affordable housing built in the City while ensuring the requirements do not pose a constraint to overall housing production.

Initiate
economic
feasibility
analysis in
2021, complete
analysis by

and receive
decision on
ordinance from
City Council by
end of 2022.

CDD; SHRA Work began on the Mixed Income Housing Ordinance Review Project in late 2022. Following the conduction of robust stakeholder outreach and research, the City
released the Draft Mixed Income Housing Ordinance
Report and Preliminary Recommendations in Fall of
2023. Staff will be releasing revised recommendations in early 2023 and anticipates City Council adoption of a
new ordinance by late Summer of 2024.

H2. Housing
Development
Toolkit
The City shall use the Vacant Lot Registration Program data to map privately-owned vacant lots and screen them for parcels that could be appropriate for housing based on screening criteria. The City shall develop a web-based Housing
Development Toolkit on the City’s website with a step-by-step process for owners identiﬁed through the Vacant Lot
Registration Program and the Housing Element Land Inventory to evaluate their options for developing their site for housing.

The website will walk through the development process and the incentives and programs currently being offered by the City or partner agencies. The Housing Development Toolkit will include resources to facilitate affordable housing

In 2022, a new Affordable Housing Project Fund was
created by redirecting unobligated funds that were
previously identiﬁed to support the Comprehensive
Siting Plan. The total amount of money transferred to the new fund was $20,526,213. This fund was used to
commit funding in support of six unique projects, totaling 659 new construction extremely-low to low-income units
and, 729 to 759 new construction and repair.

The Sacramento Public Finance Authority has initiated
the process to expand the existing Stadium Railyards
Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) in the Railyards to include all of the Railyards with a ﬁnal
approval anticipated by the end of 2024. Work on a
Stockton Blvd EIFD is also underway. In 2023, staff begun work on establishing boundaries for the EIFD, and hope
to ﬁnalize its formation in Spring 2025.

In March of 2023 the City applied for $2.5 million in
Prohousing Incentive Pilot Grant funds to provide gap
ﬁnancing to priority affordable housing projects and was subsequently awarded the funding. City staff is preparing to apply for the next round of Prohousing Incentive Pilot Grant funds and is eligible for up to $1.5 million. The application is due in March 2024.

In December 2023, the Law and Legislation Committee
of the City Council directed staff to conduct voter polling for a potential tax on vacant parcels and fully vacant
commercial and mixed-use buildings. City staff
anticipates returning to the Law and Legislation
Committee in May 2024 with the results of the voter
polling and to seek further direction. If a vacancy tax was placed on the ballot and approved by voters, revenues
could be used to support affordable housing.

In 2023, the City applied for and received the following competitive funding sources to assist affordable housing projects:
• Homekey – received $20,386,000 million in 2023 to be
used for the Rodeway Inn project which will provide
permanent supportive housing for 69 very low income
(30% AMI) individuals
• Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) – received $5 million in 2023 to be used for Central Sacramento Studios
phase 2 which will provide 75 permanent supportive
housing units for very low income (30% AMI)
individuals.

The City is continually seeking new sources of funding to support the development of affordable housing.

H4. ADU
Toolkit
The City shall develop an online ADU Toolkit with overview, process, case studies, and printable one-pagers covering various topics including, but not limited to, Universal Design and access.

accessible and are under 750 sq. ft. to be exempt from
impact fees.

H7. Develop a
Web-based
Land Inventory
The City shall develop and maintain a web-based inventory of housing element sites that is updated monthly to identify sites appropriate for housing and provide an overlay of the State’s High Opportunity Areas as deﬁned by the State’s Housing Departments such as the Treasurer or Department of Housing and Community Development. The inventory will also track remaining capacity to meet the RHNA in compliance with no- net loss requirements to maintain adequate capacity for lower- and moderate-income housing throughout the Housing Element Planning Period. The inventory will also highlight surplus City-owned sites and other public lands that would be appropriate for affordable housing.

CDD; OIED (Complete February 2022). City developed an online web-based land inventory that was released publicly in
February 2022. The web map includes the adopted
housing element sites inventory layer and will be
updated to identify sites as “available” or “not available” .

This layer will also be used to update a summary
dashboard that identiﬁes the amount of capacity
remaining in each income category. The web-based land
inventory also includes sites identiﬁed by public
agencies that may be suitable for future housing
development. These agencies currently include the City
of Sacramento, Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Sacramento (RASA), Sacramento Housing and
Redevelopment Agency, and Sacramento Regional
Transit.

In the Fall of 2022, the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments’ (SACOG) launched the 2022 Green Means
Go grant program to provide underground infrastructure
funding for priority inﬁll housing development areas
(Green Zones). In October 2022, awarded $2 million to a joint City/County request to improve infrastructure for the San Juan Motel affordable housing site located on
Stockton Blvd. In October 2022, the City applied for an additional $19 million worth of grant funding through the 2022 Green Mean Go grant program. On March 16, 2023,
the SACOG Board awarded the City with over $13 million
in funding for the applied projects, including signiﬁcant infrastructure projects in the River District and along Del Paso Blvd.

The City released a request for proposals (RFP) for the River District Speciﬁc Plan update in March 2023 and
anticipates contract approval by March 2024. As part of this work, the City will study how best to lower
construction costs and catalyze development in this
area. This scope of work will include an updated ﬁnance plan for the River District.

The City shall work with the Continuum of Care, its members, service providers, and jurisdictions, on a coordinated
response plan that is updated regularly. The Plan shall include potential shelter site and strategies to address homelessness, with an emphasis on addressing disproportionate barriers to existing homelessness and accessing housing among
marginalized populations. The Plan shall also include metrics and indicators to track the efficacy of programs and
investments to address homelessness. These metrics will be presented each year in a publicly available annual report.

Consider the
creation and
adoption of a
plan by 2022
and update as
needed.

COC for
Sacramento
County
(Complete January 2023) The Sacramento Local
Homeless Action Plan (LHAP) was adopted in June 2022
to create a cross-jurisdictional uniﬁed approach to
addressing homelessness across Sacramento County.

This three-year plan beginning on July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025, was developed in partnership with
Sacramento Steps Forward, Sacramento City and
County Continuum of Care, Sacramento County, City of
Sacramento, and the Sacramento Housing and
Redevelopment Agency.

The LHAP is actionable, relatable, and provides a
roadmap for future funding. Outlined in the plan are 6 key strategies that are in alignment with national best-
practices and if resourced and implemented
consistently across funders and providers, will bring the local response system to scale with capacity to move the needle on homelessness. Through these efforts,
homelessness in the County over time will become
preventable whenever possible, brief, and non-recurring.

In early 2023, a Year One Action Plan was created
detailing the speciﬁc actions and activities under each of Attachment 3- 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Table B and Table D) Program Title Program Language Timeframe

In late 2023, efforts began to develop a Regionally
Coordinated Homelessness Action Plan (RCHAP), a
refresh of the LCHAP in this quickly evolving
homelessness crisis. The RCHAP will include both
solutions, sub-solutions for a three year time period as well as activities for implementation in the ﬁrst year. The RCHAP is scheduled for public hearing and adoption in
mid-March 2024.

sites inventory contains capacity for over 4,000 units of lower income housing and over 2,500 of moderate-income
housing in vacant and underu�lized sites and approved
projects in this area of the City. Per the City’s Floodplain Management Regula�ons (15.104.065 Zone A99
regula�ons), for the calendar year 2024, the allowed
number of permits to be issued for single unit dwellings is 3,311, and the allowed number of permits to be issued for mul�-unit dwellings is 2,189. These caps are well in excess of the amount of recent development ac�vity and projected development ac�vity for the calendar year 2024. Thus, the cap on residen�al building permits will not aﬀect the City’s ability to meet the lower income RHNA.

time will become preventable whenever
possible, brief, and non-recurring.

In early 2023, a Year One Action Plan was
created detailing the specific actions and
activities under each of the LHAP
strategies. Progress reports through the 3rd
quarter of 2023 have been released
tracking the status of implementation and
can be found here:

In late 2023, efforts began to develop a
Regionally Coordinated Homelessness
Action Plan (RCHAP), a refresh of the
LCHAP in this quickly evolving
homelessness crisis. The RCHAP will
include both solutions, sub-solutions for a
three year time period as well as activities
for implementation in the first year. The
RCHAP is scheduled for public hearing and
adoption in mid-March 2024.

These efforts completed thus far have met
the stated objectives, and the City will
continue its work on this program
throughout the planning period.

Measure D, which fulfills the Article 34
voter approval requirements, passed by
popular vote on the November 2022 ballot.

The passing of this measure fulfills Article

perpetuity. Thus, the City has met this
program objective.
