• Produce 35,000 housing units per year - 14,000 affordable to low-income and 7,000 to moderate-income, a 60% affordability rate; • Preserve 30,000 existing affordable units - 26,000 of which are market-rate affordable units and 4,000 that are at-risk over the next 5 years; and • Protect 300,000 lower-income households - those who spend more than 50% of income on their housing). To achieve these goals, the Compact includes 10 Elements (or actions). Below is a brief summary (see Attachment 2 of the Tri-Valley Cities Housing Policy and Framework, which is Attachment 1, for a more detailed overview): Elements 1-3 — Preserve and Protect Together, these elements represent the "preserve and protect" components of the Compact, including arguments for: just-cause eviction standards; rent caps; rent assistance; and free legal counsel. Elements 4-8— Production Together, these elements are the "production" component of the Compact, with subcategories, including: accessory dwelling units (ADUs); process streamlining and financial incentives; and using public land for affordable housing. Elements 9-10— Revenue and Administration Together, these elements offer revenue generating mechanisms to fund the Compact and suggests the formation of a new independent regional "housing authority" to collect and distribute those funds. The Compact concludes with "Calls for Action," which were ideas that garnered sufficient interest from the CASA steering committee, but not enough to become a stand-alone element in the Compact. A brief discussion of these can also be found in Attachment 1. Tri-Valley Cities Response to the CASA Compact The Housing and Policy Framework includes, as Attachment 1, a response to each of the 10 Compact Elements, including: • Concerns and Considerations, including a "Concern Status" of Low, Medium or High, based on an initial assessment of the degree of impact the particular policy approach is likely to have on Tri-Valley Cities; and/or conflict with positions outlined in the Key Themes; and a synopsis of key concerns. • Recommended Approach, which reflect the Tri-Valley Cities' recommended advocacy position on the element, ranging (in order of most to least degree of support): Support/Expand, Support with Amendments, Oppose unless Amended, and Oppose. Several of the policies are noted as "Monitor" where there is known Page 5 of 9
