Ellen Clark, Director <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website <br />and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested <br />notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before <br />submitting to HCD. <br /> <br />Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element <br />compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill <br />(SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant; the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s <br />Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; and HCD’s Permanent <br />Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting <br />requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing <br />element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding <br />sources. <br /> <br />For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing <br />element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes <br />the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical <br />Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at: <br />https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html. <br /> <br />HCD appreciates the hard work and dedication the City’s housing element team <br />provided during the course of our review. We are committed to assisting the City in <br />addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If you have any <br />questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Jose Ayala, of our <br />staff, at Jose.Ayala@hcd.ca.gov. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> Paul McDougall <br />Senior Program Manager <br /> <br /> <br />Enclosure
