Attachment A: RHNA Objectives Health & Safety Code 65584(d)
(d) The regional housing needs allocation plan shall further all the following objectives:
(1) Increasing the housing supply and the mix of housing types, tenure, and affordability in all cities
and counties within the region in an equitable manner, which shall result in each jurisdiction receiving
an allocation of units for low- and very low income households.
(2) Promoting infill development and socioeconomic equity, the protection of environmental and
agricultural resources, the encouragement of efficient development patterns, and the achievement of
the region’s greenhouse gas reductions targets provided by the State Air Resources Board pursuant
to Section 65080.
(3) Promoting an improved intraregional relationship between jobs and housing, including an
improved balance between the number of low-wage jobs and the number of housing units affordable
to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction.
(4) Allocating a lower proportion of housing need to an income category when a jurisdiction already
has a disproportionately high share of households in that income category, as compared to the
countywide distribution of households in that category from the most recent American Community
Survey.
(5) Affirmatively furthering fair housing.
(e) For purposes of this section, “affirmatively furthering fair housing” means taking meaningful
actions, in addition to combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and
foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on
protected characteristics. Specifically, affirmatively furthering fair housing means taking
meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in
access to opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced
living patterns, transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of
opportunity, and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws.
