2021-2029 Housing Element
The 2021-2029 Housing Element was adopted by City Council on February 1, 2022.
2021-2029 Housing Element (adopted)
The Housing Element is part of the City’s General Plan and must be updated every eight years. The City’s Housing Element performs the following functions:
- Analyzes the City’s demographics, economics and housing supply
- Analyzes housing constraints and resources
- Evaluates sites appropriate for potential housing
- Develops housing goals, objectives, policies, and programs
The “Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)” is the method by which the State estimates each region’s housing needs for all income groups. The current 6th Cycle update presents new challenges to all jurisdictions across the State, including: the increase in RHNA dwelling unit allocations to local jurisdictions; strict housing site eligibility requirements; and new housing laws that address local policies aimed at managing growth.
Housing Element Requirements
The Housing Element must be consistent with statewide housing laws, housing element guidelines, and applicable goals and policies in the California Government Code. The City’s Housing Element must clearly demonstrate that Redlands has sufficient capacity to accommodate the number of housing units identified in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).
On March 4, 2021, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) released its final draft allocation of housing units for each jurisdiction in the region, which can be found here (click here). For the current RHNA cycle, SCAG has provided the RHNA allocation number to the City of Redlands for the 2021-2029 period consisting of the following household income levels:
- Very-low income: 967 units
- Low income: 615 units
- Moderate income: 652 units
- Above-moderate income: 1,282 units
- Total RHNA allocation: 3,516 units
Additional information about RHNA can be found at the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) website and at the California Department of Housing and Community Development website. SCAG has also prepared pre-certified housing data for the City, which can be found here (click here), and this data will be utilized as baseline information for the updated Housing Element.
