RHNA progress
California's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) mandates that each jurisdiction plan for and permit a target number of housing units over an 8-year cycle (2023–2031), broken down by income level. The bars below show how many units have been permitted so far toward each target.
Overall RHNA progress
48 / 1,336
(4%)
Very Low Income
25 / 430
(6%)
Low Income
10 / 282
(4%)
Moderate Income

Jurisdictions that fall behind their RHNA targets may face state accountability measures, including SB 35 ministerial streamlining requirements for housing projects.
