HCD’s methodology, in part, is based on socioeconomic information like population trends, household income, home prices, and existing housing needs. • Alpine County receives its RHNA directly from HCD and must show that there is enough land zoned for housing to accommodate its RHNA and must also demonstrate the County’s housing policies and standards are consistent with State law • The RHNA is also broken down into annual income affordability levels which tell the County how many units need to be designated for each income level. ---PAGE BREAK--- Our Prior and Current Allocation The County’s 2014-209 RHNA was 30 units, of which 18 were constructed. The County’s 6th Cycle RHNA is two units: • 1 very low income • 1 low income Alpine County AMI - $94,900 El Dorado County AMI - $91,100 Calaveras County AMI - $81,700 Mono County AMI - $81,200 Allocation Very Low Low Moderate Above Moderate Total Area Median Income (AMI) for 4-Person Household (2021) $43,200 $66,500 $113,900 $113,900+ Estimated Maximum Rent/Mortgage (2021) $1,080 $1,670 $2,850 $2,850+ 3rd Cycle (2003-2007) 10 7 9 19 45 4th Cycle (2007-2014) 16 10 14 28 68 5th Cycle RHNA 2014-2019 7 6 6 11 30 2014-2019 Units Constructed/Permitted 0 5 3 9 18 6th Cycle RHNA 2019-2024 1 1 0 0 2 Units Constructed/Permitted* - - - - - Remaining Capacity Needed 1 1 0 0 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- How is the County Currently Addressing Our Housing Needs? ---PAGE BREAK--- What’s Next? ---PAGE BREAK--- Opportunities for Public Involvement Virtual Community Workshop #1 – June 2021 A.
