On Friday, September 18th, the HMC recommended a proposed Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) methodology for the San Francisco Bay Area after nearly a year of meetings. The recommended proposed methodology was presented to the Regional Planning Committee, information is available as item 5 in the packet. The illustrative proposed allocation maps and proposed allocation data provide additional information.
The HMC is a key part of ABAG's approach to creating the RHNA allocation methodology. The HMC was made up of local elected officials and staff representing jurisdictions in every Bay Area county and stakeholders from multiple sectors to facilitate sharing of diverse perspectives. Over the past year, the HMC discussed how to develop a methodology that addresses the Bay Area’s housing challenges, furthers the RHNA objectives, and is consistent with Plan Bay Area 2050.
