households. Many of these subsidized units were created through inclusionary housing requirements and Agency /City financing assistance. From 2007 to 2009, 21 affordable rental units had their affordability periods expire, and the owners expressed no interest in extending the affordability periods while one owner wanted to convert their units to condominiums. In 2014, there are 14 very low- income and four low- income units set to expire (Tan Apts. and Warren Manor). In the five -year period after 2014, three additional projects are considered at risk of conversion which house 139 affordable units. B. Summary of Demographics and Housing Needs The following key points summarize the relationship of the demographic changes to the conditions of housing in San Leandro: 1. A housing affordability problem is indicated by the sizable percentages of overpaying renters (50 %) and homeowners (36 %) who pay more than 30% of their incomes on housing. 2. ABAG projects that San Leandro will add 2,650 jobs between 2010 and 2015 while adding 550 households. 3. There will be a projected demand for affordable housing as the City's teens and young adults mature since these age groups are projected to increase substantially during the next 10 years. 4. From 2010 to 2025, the demand for active senior housing in the City is likely to spike. 5. The trends suggest a growing need for larger units for "large" families (five persons or more), including households with extended families. 6. A growing number of residents requiring special needs housing (i.e., persons with disabilities, extremely low income, etc.) are not being served by the private real estate market. 7. In the five -year period after 2014, three subsidized housing projects with 139 affordable units are considered at risk of conversion. 8. One half of the owner - occupied houses are more than 50 years old and face increasing needs for rehabilitation and repair. A disproportionately large percentage of the City's older homes are occupied by persons over 75 years old. V. HOUSING PRODUCTION A. Housing Element Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for 2007 -2014 As part of the Housing Element cycle, the State Housing and Community Development Department determines the housing needs for the San Francisco Bay Area. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) then allocates housing production goals to cities and counties based upon a formula that is agreed upon by the jurisdictions. The Housing Element contains strategies and policies for conserving and developing safe, affordable housing and identifies sites that can accommodate this RHNA housing allocation. The following table (Table 10) lists the RHNA goals from the 2007 -2014 Housing Element, the number of housing units produced in the City as of June 15, 2010, and the number of housing San Leandro Redevelopment Agency 2010 -2014 Implementation Plan Page 23
