Section 65400 of the California Government Code establishes a requirement for each jurisdiction to prepare an annual report on the status of the Housing Element and the progress in its implementation, which is then submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR).

Approve the 2020 Housing Element Annual Progress Report(APR) and forward to the California Department of Housing and Communit% 14%clopment (HCD) and Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) Dear Honorable Mayor Carr and Members of the Council, The Kennedy Commission (the Commission) is a broad-based coalition of residents and community organizations that advocates for the production of homes affordable for families earning less than $27,000 annually in Orange County. Formed in 2001, the Commission has been successful in partnering and working with Orange County jurisdictions to create effective housing and land-use policies that has led to the new construction of homes affordable to lower income working families. For the 2013-2021 Housing Element planning period,the City has a RHNA of 313 very low- and 220 low-income units. Per RHNA Allocation progress reports submitted by the City, the City has built 57 or 18%of the 313 very low-income units and 60 or 27%of the 220 low-income units. However, for the above moderate-income units, the City outperformed and exceeded the R14NA by constructing 2.754 or 481%of the 572 above moderate-income units. With a remaining RHNA need of 416 lower income homes, it is important the City prioritize the development of new affordable homes during this current planning period and the upcoming 6t° Cycle. The Commission looks forward to partnering with the City to increase affordable home opportunities for lower income households in Huntington Beach. Please keep us informed of any updates and meetings regarding the Housing Element. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at(949) 250-0909 or cesarckennedvcommission.org.
