Full Notification

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) will conduct four public hearings related to the Proposed RHNA Allocation Methodology with options, which is officially available for public review and comment as of August 2, 2019. The RHNA is mandated by State Housing Law to quantify the existing and projected need for housing by income categories for each local jurisdiction during specified planning periods. SCAG is in the process of developing the 6th cycle RHNA allocation plan which will cover the planning period October 2021 through October 2029. After SCAG adopts the RHNA allocation plan in October 2020, local jurisdictions will have one year to update their Housing Elements to ensure adequate zoning capacity for the allocated housing needs by income categories.

The following public hearings will provide information regarding SCAG’s proposed RHNA allocation methodology options, which are available online. The public hearings serve as an opportunity for any member of the public to learn more and provide comments regarding these options. Members of the public are welcome to provide comments on the three options, which may include but not limited to:
• Modifications to any of the proposed three options;
• Additional factors or suggestions to be considered as part of any of the proposed three options; and
• Any new option for the RHNA allocation methodology
