Regional Housing Needs Allocation

About RHNA
The California Department of Housing & Community Development estimates the number of additional housing units needed to accommodate both existing and projected housing need for all income levels. This projection is given to each Association of Governments in the State to accommodate their share of statewide housing need. For Santa Barbara County, SBCAG and each of its member jurisdictions collaborate on the distribution of housing units for each individual jurisdiction to include in their Housing Elements.
