F-2 | City of Pleasanton Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing <br />Section F.1 Introduction <br />Assembly Bill 686, signed in 2018, establishes a statewide framework to affirmatively further fair <br />housing (AFFH) with the goal of achieving better economic and health outcomes for all Californians <br />through equitable housing policies. AB 686 requires cities and counties to take deliberate actions <br />to foster inclusive communities, advance fair and equal housing choice, and address racial and <br />economic disparities through local policies and programs. Housing elements are now required to <br />address the following five components: <br /> Inclusive and Equitable Outreach: A summary of fair housing outreach and capacity that <br />includes all economic segments of the community. <br /> Assessment of Fair Housing: An assessment of fair housing issues, including integration <br />and segregation patterns, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disparities in <br />access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs for all identified populations. <br /> Analysis of Sites Inventory: An evaluation of whether the Housing Element’s sites <br />inventory improves or exacerbates conditions for fair housing. <br /> Identification of Contributing Factors: The identification and prioritization of contributing <br />factors related to fair housing issue. <br /> Priorities, Goals, and Actions to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing: The identification <br />of fair housing goals and actions that directly address the contributing factors outlined <br />above. The housing element should include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress <br />and fair housing results. <br />Section F.2 provides a background on growth and development in Pleasanton, section F.3 details <br />outreach, section F.4 outlines the assessment of fair housing, section F.5 analyzes the site <br />inventory, section F.6 identifies the contributing factors and actions. <br />F.1.1 Notes on Figures and Analysis <br />This Appendix contains geospatial data obtained online from HCD’s AFFH Data and Mapping <br />Resources Hub1. Additional analysis is sourced from the Census American Community Survey <br />and HCD’s pre-certified data, where appropriate. Geospatial data provided by HCD for AFFH <br />mapping purposes is different than the ABAG-provided “safe harbor” data used in the housing <br />needs assessment (Appendix A).
