BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The California Department of Housing and Community Development requires each local jurisdiction in the state to prepare an annual progress report on its progress in implementing its Housing Element. California Government Code Section 65400 states that the report shall be considered at an annual public meeting before the legislative body where members of the public shall be allowed to provide oral testimony and written comments. The purpose of the 2020 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (2020 APR) is to track and monitor progress in addressing the City's housing needs, goals, and policies on an annual basis. The 2020 APR summarizes the City's activities in the last calendar year related to implementation of the current General Plan Housing Element, which was adopted by the City Council in April 2016. California Government Code Section 65400 requires the City to file an annual report addressing the status of the Housing Element, progress made toward implementing its goals and policies, and progress in meeting its share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. The report must be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research. HCD has specific reporting requirements for housing elements, which consist of a series of tables. The tables summarize the City's progress during the given year in producing various types of housing units and implementing programs contained in the Housing Element. HCD requires reporting on the number of entitlement applications for housing units submitted and approved, and the number of building permits issued, during the year (Tables A, A2, and B), including the type of units (single-family, multiple -family, etc.) and the level of affordability (very low, low, moderate, and above moderate income). Table D of the annual report tracks the City's implementation of policies and programs in the Housing Element. The City's Housing Element Annual Progress Report for the 2020 calendar year is attached to this report. - • V 1115 ► 1W%'� 2020 Housing Element Annual Progress Report April 7. 2021 Page 2 014 Suminary of New Housing Units Permitted The report demonstrates that the City approved planning entitlements for 150 new residential units (the Reynolds Ranch subdivision). In addition, the City issued 267 building permits in 2020 for construction of new residential units, including 265 single-family dwellings and two accessory dwelling units (ADUs). HCD requires the City to report the affordability levels of all new permitted units; according to the reporting methodology, the 265 permitted single-family dwellings are considered affordable to households with above moderate incomes, and the two ADUs are considered affordable to low-income households (based on the typical rent amounts charged for studio and smaller one -bedroom units in Lodi). As stated in the City's current Housing Element, for the 2014-2022 regional planning cycle, Lodi's RHNA is 1,931 new residential units. As of the end of 2020 the City had permitted 1,265 new units during the planning cycle. As shown in Table B — Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress, Lodi has significantly exceeded the RHNA for above moderate -income units (i.e. market -rate units) — 1,136 units permitted compared to 770 required per the RHNA — but is falling short of meeting the RHNAs for new units at lower levels of affordability. To meet the RHNA at all affordability levels for the 2014-2022 planning period, Lodi would still need to issue building permits for: 445 units that are affordable to very low-income households (earning below 50 percent of the area median income, or AMI) ■ 302 units that are affordable to low-income households (earning between 50 and 80 percent of AMI) ■ 285 units that are affordable to moderate -income households (earning between 80 and 120 percent of AMI) These numbers illustrate the need for the City of Lodi to encourage and facilitate the development of more below market rate housing units that would be affordable to households in the very low, low, and moderate -income brackets. The City is currently applying for multiple state grants to fund the creation of affordable housing for these segments of the population. IIIousino Elem-erd Program_ImVe;rnentation The following are highlights from the City's accomplishments in 2020 on implementing the programs outlined in the Housing Element.

An estimated $2,017,590 in PLHA funds will be available over a five-year period (2019-2023), with the first annual allocation of $336,265 awarded in Fiscal Year 2019-2020. Funds from this grant will be used to increase the supply of affordable housing in the City or help develop a Navigation Center Emergency Shelter for our unsheltered population. 4.6 Facilitate the Development of Project -Based Section 8 Units The City works with nonprofit developers to secure project -based Section 8 funding. For the City's new Harmony Homes Project 4 project based vouchers were acquired in collaboration with Housing Authority. 5.2 Energy Conservation for New Homes The Vineyard Terrace development project, with 235 new single-family homes, was constructed with solar panels on all residences to maximize energy efficiency and conservation.
