Details about the RHNA process and requirements are available on the ABAG website at .• .•... , . •. K: . , • II'1 . I . Final RHNA Numbers Enclosed you will find the final RHNA numbers by income category for all Jurisdictions.These allocations are the result of a process that began with the first meeting of the Housing Methodology Committee(HMC)in January 2011.We appreciate very much the work of the HMC members in developing the RHNA methodology as well as all of the input provided by local governments throughout the RHNA process. The final RHNA numbers allocate the Bay Area's total housing need determination of 187,990 from the California Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD).They include revisions to the draft allocations(released in July 2012)based on the results of the statutory revision and appeal process.They also reflect an agreement between the City of Palo Alto and the County of Santa Clara to transfer units. As part of the RHNA process,local Jurisdictions within a county have the opportunity to form a subregion to develop their own methodology and carry out their own allocation process.For the 2014-2022 RHNA,subregions were formed in Napa,San Mateo,and Solano counties.The final RHNA numbers incorporate the final allocations adopted by the three subregions. Next Steps The ABAG Executive Board is scheduled to adopt the Final RHNA at its meeting on July 18,2013. Once these allocations are adopted,each local government must revise Its Housing Element to show how it plans to accommodate its portion of the region's total housing need by income category.The date by which Housing Elements must be certified by HCD is January 31.2015.
