Brief Overview
3 WHAT IS A
“CONSOLIDATED PLAN?”
A Consolidated Plan is a planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
It uses a combination of data and community outreach to identify the top housing, community development, and economic development needs in a city or county—as well as gaps in supportive services
The funding associated with the Consolidated Plan benefits low and moderate income populations
The document is produced every 5 years as a condition of receiving housing and community development funding

8 • Pop-up events with prioritization activities including Sunnyvale Farmers Market • Community survey—1,009 responses north c ounty, 54 responses Sunnyvale • Two virtual public workshops—55 residents in attendance • Three stakeholder consultation workshops—72 stakeholders in attendance
Top Resident
Needs
Domestic violence survivors, for whom there are only
63 emergency shelter beds in the county, need low-
barrier, safety- and trauma-informed crisis housing.
Lack of sober living environments and substance-
friendly housing options in transitional housing.
LGBT residents who have experienced mistreatment
in specific shelters need tailored shelters.
Housing is even harder to find for groups with special needs including residents with disabilities. Seniors
increasingly resort to living in RVs, which are often in poor condition.
Top housing needs for all residents are: Affordable
rental housing, Rental assistance, Homeownership
opportunities.
Residents and stakeholders also reported that
navigating housing processes is difficult due to
bureaucratic and private market barriers
Identified through resident
and stakeholder workshops
and confirmed in survey
9 Housing Needs & Gaps
Summary Findings
10 Units
Permitted by
Structure,
1980-2023
Although
Sunnyvale permits
few duplexes or
townhomes, it
works to lower
housing costs
through
multifamily unit
permitting
11 Units by
Structure
Type, 2023
Sunnyvale has
some of the most
diverse housing
stock in the region,
comparable to
Santa Clara city
12 Median Rent,
2018 and 2023
Sunnyvale’s median rent is
moderate for Santa Clara
County jurisdictions. Rents
have increased significantly
from 2018, and the median
rent is now around $730
more per month than in
2018.
13 Median
Home
Price,
2018 and
2024
14 Sunnyvale’s typical home
price of homes for sale is
around $2 million. More
than half of the City’s
renters earn $150,000 and
more but still fall short of
being able to buy in the
city.
Rental Gaps: Sunnyvale, 2023
15 Rental gaps exist for
households earning up
to $75,000/year.
Households with
incomes of less than
$75,000 rent higher
priced units, becoming
cost burdened and
putting pressure on the
supply of units at higher
price points.
There are
approximately 7,500
renters with incomes
under $75,000 and
3,000 affordable rental
units to serve them.
Five-year Goals and Priorities

Affordable Housing

Opportunities for Lower
Income People
Public Services
