Document Description
The Project is the State-mandated update (5th cycle) of the City of Berkeley Housing Element 2015-2023, which is subject to review by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Berkeley Housing Element serves as a policy guide to address the comprehensive housing needs of the City. State Housing Element law requires that local jurisdictions outline the housing needs of their community, the barriers or constraints to providing that housing, and actions proposed to address these concerns over an eight-year planning period. In addition, Housing Element law requires each city and county to accommodate its "fair share" of projected housing need over the Element planning period. Cities and counties must demonstrate that adequate sites are available to accommodate this need, and that the jurisdiction allows for development of a variety of housing types. This housing need requirement, known as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), apportions to each jurisdiction its portion of the Bay Area's projected need.
