State Housing Element law mandates that all local governments adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The Association of Bay Area Governments allocates the Bay Area regional housing need to all the cities and counties in the Bay Area. The County's current Housing Element covers the planning period from 2007 to 2014 and plans for the provision of 3,508 units of housing in the unincorporated County. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400, the County is required to submit an annual report to the State Department of Housing and Community Development and the State Office of Planning and Research by April 1 of each year. Beginning in 2014, jurisdictions are also required to submit the annual report to their legislative bodies for review and comment. Attached to this Board Order is the County's 2013 Annual Housing Element Progress Report. In 2013, the County issued 290 building permits for single family, multi-family, and manufactured housing. To date, the County has issued building permits for 2,143 units, or 61% of the County's current planning period allocation.
