__TOC__
== Explanation from bill author Sen. Scott Wiener ==
<blockquote>"'''SB 828— RHNA Reform: Relying on Data, Not Politics, in Projecting Housing Needs''' "The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), which is how California determines how much housing each local community should build, is based on a flawed methodology that significantly underestimates population growth and how much housing will be needed. In addition, the current RHNA allocation process is non-standardized, insufficiently connected to actual data, and highly politicized, thus giving some communities advantages when assigning state housing goals. Too often wealthier and more politically connected areas are able to pressure for lower housing allocations, while lower-income areas receive higher housing allocations. This pushes a disproportionate amount of development into lower-income communities.<br/> <br/> "SB 828 creates a clearer, fairer, more data-driven, and more equitable process for how the state and regional bodies assign RHNA numbers to local communities. It does so by requiring a more data-focused, objective process and by creating stronger guardrails, thus reducing the wiggle room jurisdictions use to lower their RHNA allocations. SB 828 also requires communities to begin making up for past RHNA deficits. California has a huge housing deficit due to years of under-production, and we need to dig out of that hole."</blockquote> ▼

▲== Intent Bill Text ==
This is the text of the bill as introduced, in "intent bill" form, i.e. leaves most details unspecified.
Line 32 ⟶ 26:
(b) Establish a methodology for the comprehensive assessment on unmet need that acknowledges the following:
(1) Median rent or home prices that exceed median income will be alleviated by rapidly increasing housing supply, particularly housing supply for moderate and above-moderate income households.
(2) Communities with high rates of income growth must also have a high rate of new housing production for households of all income levels to ensure equity and stabilize home prices and communities.
(c) Authorize the department to challenge the methodology for local allocations made by a council of government or regional planning agency.
Line 43 ⟶ 37:
(f) Require a local jurisdiction to plan and accommodate for 200 percent of the local housing allocation for every income category in its housing element.
