Finding/ Comment #Comment Response Reference A Review the previous element to evaluate the appropriateness, effectiveness, and progress in implementation, and reflect the results of this review in the revised element. (Gov. Code, § 65588 (a) and (b).) As part of the review of programs in the past cycle, the element must also provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of goals, policies, and related actions in meeting the housing needs of special needs populations (e.g., elderly, persons with disabilities, large households, female headed households, farmworkers and persons experiencing homelessness). Programs should be revised as appropriate to reflect the results of this evaluation. A more detailed discussion of the effectiveness of 2015 Housing Element goals, policies, and programs in meeting the housing needs of special needs populations will be added. This will include a reference to proposed programs targeting special needs populations under Goal 5. Appendix D (Existing Programs Review), Section D.1 (Existing Housing Programs Review) B.1 Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A).) Patterns and Trends: While the element reports general information and data, it must analyze this data for trends over time, patterns across census tracts, and coincidence with other components of the assessment of fair housing. Additionally, the element must evaluate patterns on a regional basis, comparing the City within the Tri-Valley subregion and Alameda County or bay area region as a whole. This analysis should particularly emphasize disparities in income compared to the region and include appropriate programmatic responses to encourage housing mobility and promote new affordable housing opportunities throughout the City, regardless of the regional housing need allocation (RHNA). Tri-Valley data will be added to supplement comparisons with Alameda County. Data for familial status over time will be added. Programs to promote new affordable housing opportunities throughout the city will be referenced and emphasized. Appendix F (Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing), Section F.4.2 (Integration and Segregation); Section F.6 (Contributing Factors and Meaningful Actions) B.1 (cont) Identified Sites and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH): The element includes some discussion regarding sites and the assessment factors of the fair housing section. However, this approach to whether identified sites affirmatively further fair housing must also account for the location of identified sites by income group. A full analysis should address the income categories of identified sites with respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and how that affects the existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity). In addition, the analysis should be supported by local data and knowledge and other relevant factors. The element should also discuss whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions, including any isolation of the RHNA. If sites exacerbate conditions or isolate the RHNA, the element should identify further program actions that will be taken to promote inclusive communities and equitable quality of life throughout the community (e.g., housing mobility and new housing choices and affordability in higher resource or higher income areas). AFFH sites analysis maps (Section F.5) will be revised to show income levels of sites. A subarea sites analysis will be prepared to show distribution of sites and unit capacity by income groups relative to subareas and all components of the assessment of fair housing. Analysis will be summarized in table format. Analysis will conclude whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions, including any isolation of RHNA. If conditions are found to be exacerbated or RHNA isolated, new program(s) will be added to promote inclusive communities and equitable quality of life throughout the community. This analysis will be completed after the final sites list is approved by the City Council on December 20, 2022. Appendix F (Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing), Section F.5 (Site Inventory) A.
