Reporting on Housing Units for Elderly Care
This law allows local planning agencies to count certain elderly care housing units toward their required annual reports starting with the seventh revision of their general plan.
What This Bill Does
- Authorizes planning agencies to include specific elderly care units in their annual report for the 7th and future revisions of the housing element.
- Allows up to 15% of a city or county's regional housing need allocation for any income category to be counted as congregate care or residential care facilities for the elderly.
- Applies this counting rule only if these types of facilities are included in the official regional housing need determination.
Who It Names or Affects
- Local planning agencies responsible for preparing general plans and annual reports.
- Cities, counties, or city-counties with a regional housing need allocation.
Terms To Know
- Housing element
- A required part of a local general plan that describes how a city or county will meet its housing needs.
- Regional housing need allocation
- The specific number of homes the state requires each city or county to plan for within their area.
Limits and Unknowns
- This change only applies to the 7th revision of a housing element and any revisions after that.
- Counting these units is optional for agencies; it says they are authorized to include them, but does not require it.
