Existing Programs Review City of Pleasanton | D-3 <br /> <br />As a result, most programs are recommended to be continued with some being updated to reflect <br />changes since the last Housing Element adoption. Although existing policies and programs have <br />resulted in more housing affordable to special needs populations since 2015, new policies and <br />programs are included in the 2023-2031 Housing Element (Section 4, Goal 5) to further housing <br />opportunities for special needs populations. Additionally, many programs are recommended to be <br />merged with other programs to reduce overlap or redundancy and facilitate administration. Some <br />programs were also determined to be more appropriately couched as policies. The City conducted <br />a comprehensive reorganization of its housing programs as shown in the 2023-2031 Housing <br />Element Goals, Policies, and Programs (Section 4). <br />Recommended program modifications include integrating state law updates (e.g., no net loss (SB <br />166), Housing Crisis Act (SB 330), supportive housing, emergency shelters, etc.) and providing <br />more specificity in terms of City actions. Modifications are also recommended based on the <br />housing needs assessment (Appendix A), housing constraints analysis (Appendix C), and <br />affirmatively furthering fair housing analysis (Appendix F). Programs that can be effectively <br />addressed through other existing or modified programs, or that have already been implemented, <br />are recommended to be deleted. <br />Please see Table D-1 for the analysis of existing programs.
