Today’s release of the Draft Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Methodology is a major and important milestone in the RHNA process. The Draft RHNA Methodology and Final RHNA Subregional Shares release is the next step in the process.

The Draft RHNA Methodology determines the total number of new homes the Bay Area needs to build—and how affordable those homes need to be—in order to meet the housing needs of people at all income levels. The RHNA subregional shares is a parallel RHNA process, allowing an approved geographic area to allocate the defined subregion’s housing need among its members. Both integrate Final Blueprint data via the 2050 Households baseline.

Visit the RHNA webpage for more information.

On Friday, December 18 at 12:00 p.m., staff from ABAG and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission will present updates on the Draft Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Methodology and Final RHNA Subregional Shares, as well as the Plan Bay Area 2050 Final Blueprint, including its associated Outcomes and Growth Pattern.
