The Housing Department entered into agreements with 4 nonprofit service providers from July and August 2024 through 2026 to deliver capacity-building support focused on strengthening housing preservation activities. The service providers include South Bay Community Land Trust, Sacred Heart Community Service, SOMOS Mayfair, Inc., and the School of Arts and Culture at Mexican Heritage Plaza (SOAC).
These activities are funded by one-time Community Benefits Agreement funds from Google’s Downtown West development. As part of the agreements, 3 of the 4 organizations included activities and outcome measures to assess the feasibility of becoming a Community Development Corporation (CDC), and all 4 established goals to develop housing strategies aligned with the City’s Housing Preservation Workplan.
In 2025, Sacred Heart Community Service and SOAC presented feasibility reports to City staff evaluating their potential transition to CDC status. SOAC intends to advance the La Placita project through a three-phase development approach, with Phase 3 focused on creating affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. Sacred Heart Community Service, in partnership with Alta Housing, implemented a CDC capacity-building initiative that included community outreach, staff and resident trainings on affordable housing and CDC models, and research and evaluation of potential acquisition sites within Council District 3.

N-8 Outside Bond Issuers Analysis done 12/31/2025 6th Cycl e Completed
The department ran an analysis over time from a number of outside bond issuance projects. The City has assessed the restrictions on outside issuers, like CMFA's regulatory agreements vs the City's affordability restrictions. in 2025, our bond poili
cy was amended to allow outside bond issuances for tax
credit projects, without getting a council approval, i.e. an exception to the policy. We added a requirement that the City will require to be a co- adminintrator on such regulatory agreement in order to have city monitoring rights on these affordable housing properties. This has resulted in improved staff capacity and workload. We also studied the bond issuance and monitoring fees with CMFA vs the City. Another bond policy revision will be taken to Council 2nd quarter of 2026.

Methodology for Counting Non Deed Restricted Moderate-Income Units – 2025 Housing Element Annual Report
The purpose of this analysis is to determine if market rate apartments can reasonably be categorized as moderate income for RHNA reporting purposes. Our hypothesis is that some class A rental units that pulled building permits in 2025 will be affordable to moderate-income households in approximately two years (2026-27), when they are completed and occupied. The analysis consists of the following steps:
Method A: Trending
1. Determine what rent ranges will be affordable to 110% AMI households when buildings are completed:
a. Calculate rent ranges that would be affordable to moderate-income households using current (2025) HCD published rent limits for 110% of Area Median Income as the affordability standard for rent plus a reasonable utility allowance, per the California Health and Safety Code.
b. Convert rent range from household size to rents by # bedrooms, using HCD Occupancy Guidelines of one per bedroom plus one. Assign rent maximum by unit type (studio, 1BR, 2 BR etc.)
c. Based on a 2019 survey of a small number of new apartment buildings in a variety of zip codes, we determined set of utilities typically paid by tenants. Using the Santa Clara County Housing Authority current utility allowance schedule for multifamily buildings, determine the cost of the typical set of utilities for each unit size by bedroom, and deduct it from the allowable maximum rent plus utility payments for each unit size determined in step 1b, per HCD guidance, to get the maximum rent payment for each unit size.
d. Adjust these rent ranges and utility costs to approximate what they would be in 2 years when these units are built and occupied by
i. For rent ranges, applying the average % change that HCD Income limits have experienced over the last 2 annual cycles (2023 to 2025). ii. For utility costs, applying the average % change that utility costs in the County’s utility schedule, have experienced over the last 2 years (2023 to 2025)
2. Identify 2025 Permitted Housing Projects > = 10 units:
a. Obtain CY2025 Residential Building Permits Issued for projects with 10 or more units.
Exclude potential ownership projects and affordable projects. b. Identify Zip Codes of the remaining projects.
3. Identify Zip Codes where average effective rents (by unit size) are at/below the moderate- income rent range:
a. Use Costar to identify Q4 2025 Class A average effective rents (by bedroom size) for market-rate projects in SJ, for the zip codes identified in #2 above. b. Adjust average effective market rate rents to approximate what they will be in 2 years when these units are occupied by applying the % change in average effective rent observed in each zip code over the last 2 years.
ATTACHMENT C – Methodology for Non-Deed Restricted Moderate-Income Units CY 2025 2 of 3
c. Identify target zip codes where adjusted average effective rents, by bedroom count, are at or below the rent ranges calculated in step 1.
4. Collect unit mix data and identify the units affordable to moderate income households:
a. Identify the # of units by bedroom size, in each of the qualifying projects in the qualifying zip codes, per 3 above.
b. Count only those units, by bedroom size, that are equal to or less than the HCD rent ranges calculated and extrapolated in step 1.
Method B: Current Rents & Incomes
Method B is similar to Method A, but without the use of any rent or income trending. Developments that would meet moderate-income rent definitions today are counted.
1. Determine rent ranges affordable to 110% AMI households:
a. Calculate rent ranges that would be affordable to moderate-income households using current (2025) City of San Jose published rent limits for 110% of Area Median Income as the affordability standard for rent plus a reasonable utility allowance, per the California Health and Safety Code.
b. Convert rent range from household size to rents by # bedrooms, using HCD Occupancy Guidelines of one per bedroom plus one. Assign rent maximum by unit type (studio, 1BR, 2 BR etc.)
c. Based on a 2019 survey of a small number of new apartment buildings in a variety of zip codes, we determined set of utilities typically paid by tenants. Using the Santa Clara County Housing Authority current utility allowance schedule for multifamily buildings, determine the cost of the typical set of utilities for each unit size by bedroom, and deduct it from the allowable maximum rent payments for each unit size determined in step 1b, per HCD guidance.
2. Identify 2025 Permitted Housing Projects > = 10 units:
a. Obtain CY2025 Residential Building Permits Issued for projects with 10 or more units.
Exclude potential ownership projects and affordable projects. b. Identify Zip Codes of the remaining projects.
3. Identify Zip Codes where average effective rents (by unit size) are at/below the moderate- income rent range:
a. Use Costar to identify Q4 5Class A average effective rents (by bedroom size) for market- rate projects in SJ, for the zip codes identified in #2 above.
4. Collect unit mix data and identify the units affordable to moderate-income households:
a. Identify the # of units by bedroom size, in each of the qualifying projects, per 3 above. b. Count only those units, by bedroom size, that are equal to or less than the HCD rent ranges calculated and extrapolated in step 1.

12/31/2002 3/13/2018 Although developers were identified in anticipation of a mixed-use
affordable apartment and for-sale
development following the site’s
purchase, the original development
plan fell through during the Great
Recession and was no longer
feasible.
In 2016, after a new competitive
process for development of
permanent affordable housing,
including units for the homeless, the
City selected nonprofit Allied Housing
to develop the Evans Lane site for
permanent affordable housing. Allied
Housing planned to develop a site
using modular constructed units for
up to 61 households, including
previously homeless households.
The San José City Council approved
a General Plan amendment in June
2016 that permitted the proposed
affordable housing land use.
In August 2016, the San José City
Council approved findings, a ground
lease to Allied Housing, and a
conditional predevelopment grant

commitment for the affordable
housing project. In early 2017, the
City and Allied executed A Right of
Entry Agreement, and the
Predevelopment Grant Agreement
was needed to complete preparation
for its final land use entitlements,
which the City awarded on
January 8, 2019. However, as the
project design progressed, the
developer encountered several
design and cost challenges in
developing the proposed modular
design. In mid-2019, the City and
Allied Housing mutually agreed to
discontinue the proposed
development and proceed with a new
affordable development plan.
With the dual crises of increased
homelessness in the region and the
COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020,
the City took urgent action to develop
new emergency shelter and
temporary housing opportunities to
allow the City’s unhoused residents
to safely shelter in place, protecting
those residents and the larger
community.
In early April 2020, the San José
City Council directed the City’s
administration to expeditiously
construct three temporary

communities modeled from earlier
Bridge Housing Communities, also
known as “tiny homes.” One of the

X. INCOME TESTS
Extremely Low-Income (30%) Test
Section 34176.1(a)(3)(A) requires that the Housing Successor expend at least 30% of the LMIHAF for the development of rental housing affordable to and occupied by households earning 30% or less (extremely low-income) of the area median income over a five-year period.
Section 34176.1(a)(3)(B) states that if the Housing Successor fails to comply with the extremely low-income requirement in any five-year report, then the Housing Successor must ensure that at least 50% of the funds remaining in the LMIHAF be expended (in each following fiscal year) on households earning 30% or less of the area median income, until the Housing Successor demonstrates compliance with the extremely low- income requirement.
Pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code Section 34176.1(a)(3)(B), compliance needs to be demonstrated every five years. Compliance was last demonstrated in 2024 and needs to be demonstrated again in 2029.

Attachment E: Housing Successor to Redevelopment Agency Annual Report FY 2024-2025
during the past five years from fiscal years 2020 - 2025. This proportion significantly surpassed the 30% minimum expenditure threshold, so the test was met. 60-80% Area Median Income Test
Section 34176.1(a)(3)(A) also requires that the Housing Successor spend no more than 20% of the LMIHAF for the development of rental housing affordable to and occupied by households earning between 60% and 80% of the area median income (61-80% area median income).
Section 34176.1(a)(3)(C) states that if the Housing Successor exceeds the expenditure limit for households earning between 60% and 80% of the area median income in any five-year report, the Housing Successor shall not expend any of the remaining funds for this income cohort until the Housing Successor demonstrates compliance with this limit.
Pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code Section 34176.1(a)(3)(C), compliance needs to be demonstrated every five years. Compliance was last demonstrated in 2024 and needs to be demonstrated again in 2029.
In 2025, the City met the 60-80% area median income test according to Section 34176.1(a)(3)(A) by expending 3.8% of LMIHAF for households earning between 60% and 80% of the area median income during the past five years from fiscal years 2020 - 2025. This percentage was far below the 20% limit, so the test was met.
XI. SENIOR HOUSING TEST
The Housing Successor is to calculate the percentage of deed-restricted rental housing units restricted to seniors and assisted 3 by the Housing Successor, the former Redevelopment Agency, and/or the City within the previous 10 years in relation to the aggregate number of units of deed-restricted rental housing assisted by the Housing Successor, the former Redevelopment Agency, and/or the City within the same time period. If this percentage exceeds 50%, the Housing Successor cannot expend future funds in the LMIHAF to assist additional senior housing units until the Housing Successor or City assists and construction has commenced on a number of restricted rental units equal to 50% of the total amount of deed-restricted rental units.
The following provides the Housing Successor’s Senior Housing Test for the 10-year period of July 1, 2015– June 30, 2025.
3 The term ‘assisted’ is used to indicate financial assistance. Units are reported as assisted in the fiscal year in which the loan closing is recorded.

Maximum Allowable Percentage 50%
Test Outcome Met
The percentage of assisted affordable rental units for seniors accounted for 29% of all assisted affordable rental units over the past 10 years. This is well below the 50% threshold, so the test was met.
XII. EXCESS SURPLUS TEST
Excess Surplus is defined in Section 34176.1(d) as an unencumbered amount in the LMIHAF account that exceeds the greater of $1,000,000 or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the Housing Successor’s preceding four fiscal years, whichever is greater.
