WORKING DRAFT FOR HCD REVIEW <br /> <br /> <br />EVALUATION OF 2010 ELEMENT 2-4 SAN LEANDRO HOUSING ELEMENT <br />reductions. Staff levels in the Housing Services Division were reduced from 3.5 full time employees to <br />one employee. Some of the programs administered by the Division were eliminated or severely curtailed. <br /> <br />During the 2007-2014 period, the City of San Leandro facilitated two new affordable housing <br />developments and provided technical assistance and support to a property owner who converted an 840- <br />unit market rate rental housing development into affordable housing using federal/state low income <br />housing tax credits. In 2007, the City completed a Downtown Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) <br />Strategy. This was followed by the rezoning of Downtown to facilitate denser mixed use development <br />and a General Plan amendment to integrate the TOD Strategy. The City also provided support to local <br />organizations assisting the homeless, persons at risk of homelessness, and others with special housing <br />needs. Many of these actions resulted from programs identified in the 2010 Housing Element, and the <br />2003 Element that preceded it. <br /> <br />2007-2014 RHNA housing targets vs. actual performance <br /> <br />The 2010 Housing Element was prepared to cover the period 2007-2014. ABAG’s Regional Housing <br />Needs Allocation (RHNA) had assigned 1,630 housing units to San Leandro for that period, distributed as <br />follows: <br /> <br />Very Low Income* 368 units <br />Low-Income* 228 units <br />Moderate-Income* 277 units <br />Above Moderate Income* 757 units <br />Total 1,630 units <br />*See Page 3-12 for a definition of each income category <br /> <br />The City used its 2010 Housing Element to demonstrate how it would encourage production of these units <br />during the 2007-2014 time period, with an emphasis on 2010-2014. <br /> <br />The actual number of units produced during 2007-2014 fell short of the RHNA figures. Actual production <br />was as follows: <br /> <br />Year Units Built <br />2007 43 <br />2008 97 <br />2009 12 <br />2010 63 <br />2011 0 <br />2012 8 <br />2013 8 <br />2014 N/A(*) <br />Total 231 <br />(*) Year still underway at time of publication <br />
