Affordable Housing

GLENN COUNTY

Provision for Existing & Projected Housing Needs for All Economic Segments of the Community (65583(A)(1)&(2) Government Code)

        Targeting of most serious needs

        Low income housing at risk of conversion (65583(a)(8))

·        Coordinated housing construction – if we want more housing we need the labor pool to work in those businesses.

 

 

Residential Land Resources/Land Inventory (65583(A)(3) Government Code)

 

·        How to provide affordable housing without creating slums and ghettos

·        Mixed uses

·        Adequate sites (65583(c)(1))

·        Quantified objectives (65583(b))

 

 

Governmental And Non-Governmental Constraints (65583(A)(4)&(5) Government Code)

 

·        Governmental constraints

        Land use controls

        Building codes and enforcement

        Fees and exactions

        Development processing and procedures

 

 

·        Nongovernmental constraints

        Availability and cost of financing

        Price of land

        Cost of construction

        Consumer preference

 

 

Special Housing Needs (65583(A)(6) Government Code)

 

·        Farmworker and migrant worker housing needs

·        There is a need for senior housing also for assisted living apartments.  Right now seniors have to move away from friends and family to Chico or elsewhere.

 

 

Ability Of The County To Assist In Housing Element Program Requirements

 

·        Has Glenn County met its housing element requirements?

·        Adequate sites program ((65583(c)(1))

·        Assist in the development of housing to met the needs of low- and moderate-income households (65583(c)(2))

·        Remove governmental constraints on housing (65583(c)(3))

·        Conserve and improve the conditions of the existing affordable housing stock (65583(c)(4))

·        Promote equal housing opportunities for all persons (65583(c)(5))
