IV. DETAILED PROGRESS ON INDIVIDUAL HOUSING ELEMENT GOALS, POLICIES AND PROGRAMS The Element's eight goals define the major topic areas covered by the element. These are: • New Housing Opportunities • Affordable Housing Development • Administration of Housing Programs First Time Homebuyer Opportunities • Affordable Housing Conservation • Special Needs Populations • Elimination of Housing Constraints • Fair Housing The first of these goals was adopted by the City on May 6, 2002 as part of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. It is repeated here because it is relevant to the mandatory topics covered by the Housing Element. The next seven goals are unique to the Housing Element. Where appropriate, policies in other parts of the General Plan have been cross-referenced to demonstrate internal consistency and identify other parts of the Plan where housing issues are addressed. Numerical objectives have been developed for several of the goals. Each objective represents a target for the number of housing units to be preserved, improved, or developed-or the number of households to be assisted-during the time period covered by this Plan. The objectives provide a way to measure the City's progress toward the implementation of the Element. Each of the Element's goals is also accompanied by policies and action programs. The policies are intended to guide day to day decisions on housing, while the actions identify the specific steps the City will take after the Element is adopted. Some of the actions are followed by narrative text providing further detail on the steps to be taken after the Housing Element is adopted. The following table provides a more detailed description of the progress made on each individual item and in some cases contains a reference to Section III -Highlights of Housing Element Implementation.
