Update on the Housing Element Regional Housing Needs Allocation:
Staff discussed the latest release by ABAG of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
numbers. The most recent release saw a significant drop in the allocation from 1,357 to 1,059.
The drop is the result of staff reviewing information given to ABAG about the amount of
development that was projected to occur in the Stevens Creek Boulevard area. VTA had
overestimated the amount.
Staff will continue to keep the Housing Commission updated on the Housing Element process.
6.COMMITTEE MEMBER REPORTS
Chair Raman asked whether the Commission wanted to host a community meeting to gather
information on how the BMR program and application process is perceived. He would like to
hear what works well and what areas we could look at for improvement. We would coordinate
the effort with WVCS. Staff will agendize the item for discussion at the next meeting.
