City of Irvine Regional Housing Needs Assessment Update

The City of Irvine is providing an update on the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). RHNA is mandated by the State of California and is part of the process to update General Plan housing elements. The state requires a jurisdiction’s housing element to find adequate sites for both the total RHNA allocation and across all income categories. If a jurisdiction is unable to find adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA, it may become ineligible for millions of dollars in state grant funding.
