For purposes of subdivision (a) of Section 65583, the share of a city or county of the regional housing need shall include that share of the housing need of persons at all income levels within the area significantly affected by the general plan of the city or county.(2)It is the intent of the Legislature that cities, counties, and cities and counties should undertake all necessary actions to encourage, promote, and facilitate the development of housing to accommodate the entire regional housing need, and reasonable actions should be taken by local and regional governments to ensure that future housing production meets, at a minimum, the regional housing need established for planning purposes. These actions shall include applicable reforms and incentives in Section 65582.1.(3)The Legislature finds and declares that insufficient housing in job centers hinders the states environmental quality and runs counter to the states environmental goals. In particular, when Californians seeking affordable housing are forced to drive longer distances to work, an increased amount of greenhouse gases and other pollutants is released and puts in jeopardy the achievement of the states climate goals, as established pursuant to Section 38566 of the Health and Safety Code, and clean air goals.(b)The department, in consultation with each council of governments, shall determine each regions existing and projected housing need pursuant to Section 65584.01 at least two years prior to the scheduled revision required pursuant to Section 65588. The appropriate council of governments, or the department for cities and counties without a council of governments, shall adopt a final regional housing need plan that allocates a share of the regional housing need to each city, county, or city and county at least one year prior to the scheduled revision for the region required by Section 65588. The allocation plan prepared by a council of governments shall be prepared pursuant to Sections 65584.04 and 65584.05.(c)Notwithstanding any other law, the department may extend the due dates for the determinations of the department or for the council of governments, respectively, regarding the regional housing need by not more than 60 days if the extension will enable access to more recent critical population or housing data from a pending or recent release of the United States Census Bureau or the Department of Finance. If the due date for the determination of the department or the council of governments is extended for this reason, the department shall extend the corresponding housing element revision deadline pursuant to Section 65588 by not more than 60 days.(d)The regional housing needs allocation plan shall further all of the following objectives:(1)Increasing the housing supply and the mix of housing types, tenure, and affordability in all cities and counties within the region in an equitable manner, which shall result in each jurisdiction receiving an allocation of units for low and very low income households.(2)Promoting infill development and socioeconomic equity, the protection of environmental and agricultural resources, the encouragement of efficient development patterns, and the achievement of the regions greenhouse gas reductions targets provided by the State Air Resources Board pursuant to Section 65080.(3)Promoting an improved intraregional relationship between jobs and housing, including an improved balance between the number of low-wage jobs and the number of housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction.(4)Allocating a lower proportion of housing need to an income category when a jurisdiction already has a disproportionately high share of households in that income category, as compared to the countywide distribution of households in that category from the most recent American Community Survey.(5)Affirmatively furthering fair housing.(e)For purposes of this section:(1)Affirmatively furthering fair housing means taking meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. Specifically, affirmatively furthering fair housing means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns, transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity, and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws.(2)Household income levels are as determined by the department as of the most recent American Community Survey pursuant to the following code sections:(A)Very low incomes, as defined by Section 50105 of the Health and Safety Code.(B)Lower incomes, as defined by Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code.(C)Moderate incomes, as defined by Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code.(D)Above moderate incomes are those exceeding the moderate-income level of Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code.(f)Notwithstanding any other law, determinations made by the department, a council of governments, or a city or county pursuant to this section or Section 65584.01, 65584.02, 65584.03, 65584.04, 65584.05, 65584.06, 65584.07, or 65584.08 are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code). |

These actions shall include applicable reforms and incentives in Section 65582.1.(3) The Legislature finds and declares that insufficient housing in job centers hinders the states environmental quality and runs counter to the states environmental goals.
