SECTION J -- COMMUNITY PLANNING, HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT
HOUSING PLANNING SECTION
PROGRAM MISSION: To provide the information needed for the County
to develop effective goals and strategies to address the community's housing
needs.
Responsibilities of the Housing Planning staff include:
-
Plans: Staff
drafts plans such as the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, the Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) and the Targets report. The Five-Year Plan sets out comprehensive
goals, policies and strategies to address housing, homelessness and community
development needs. It also includes detailed
information on low and moderate income housing needs. An Annual Consolidated Plan is developed each year to serve as an
action plan.
-
Data Analysis: Staff
manages the housing database, which includes details on 1) the multi-family
rental stock, e.g., rents and vacancies, and 2) the County's committed
affordable units, e.g., affordability levels.
Staff uses the latter to track performance toward housing goals. They analyze Census data, e.g., assessing
those County neighborhoods that could qualify for Neighborhood Strategy Area
status. Staff also manages the Online
Apartment Guide.
-
Citizen
Participation: Staff supports the Housing Commission, its subcommittees and
special committees. Staff facilitates
community participation in the development of housing policies, e.g., the
community forum for the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. Staff also represents the County at a range of community
meetings.
-
Research: Staff
identifies housing needs, such as overseeing housing needs surveys. Staff
researches housing issues and best practices, as well as developing legislative
initiatives.
