Book excerpt: The state of California implements the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) program as the central pillar of its statewide housing policy, the Housing Element Law. It determines "fair share" allocations of a region's forecasted growth in households for each city and county, and directs local jurisdictions to accommodate the allocations in its general plans and zoning capacity. The RHNA process is an attempt to ensure that additional housing units are constructed to accommodate population growth in every part of the state. However, nearly forty years since RHNA was first established, California today faces a housing crisis where vacancy rates are very low and rent and ownership prices have skyrocketed, especially in its coastal metropolitan regions (Alamo and Uhler 2015). While limited studies of the RHNA program have been conducted in the past, none have examined it from a comprehensive and longitudinal perspective. I analyzed data on RHNA allocations and performance for the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), a regional Council of Governments that encompasses six counties and is the most populous in the state. Covering the period from 1998 to 2021, I found that high allocations are strongly associated with cities that have lower household incomes, more people of color, and are farther away from downtown Los Angeles. They are also associated with cities having high rates of past household growth. In contrast, housing production was associated only with past household growth and distance from downtown Los Angeles. I conclude that SCAG's implementation of RHNA reinforces racial and economic disparities of housing growth in the region. I also find that it has a recursive effect over time, maintaining high allocations for cities on the urban fringe while rewarding slow-growth cities with low allocations. The RHNA implementation by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) displays similar dynamics of disparity (Bromfield and Moore 2017). Major changes to RHNA allocation methodologies are necessary to address these structural inequalities in California's housing landscape.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Professional Capstone assists Professors Moira O'Neill and Eric Biber in their Comprehensive Assessment of Land Use Entitlements Study (CALES) to answer questions about whether and how land use regulation shapes housing development patterns in California, with a particular focus on affordable housing development, in high-cost areas. The lack of affordable housing is one of California's most pressing planning issues. Since the 1970s, California's state housing framework, the Housing Element, has addressed housing shortage issues by requiring local governments to accommodate their fair share of regionally needed housing. However, these efforts have historically failed as 97% of local governments have never met their production requirements every housing cycle. Recently, the California Legislature passed two packages of bills, the 2017/2018 Housing Package, to address ongoing housing shortage and systematic issues of the Housing Element. Notably, this package aims to hold jurisdictions accountable for non-compliance and accelerate residential development, specifically affordable housing production.

Book excerpt: My dissertation examines the effects of California's Housing Element Law on low-income housing production. Implemented in 1969, the law been lauded for addressing housing inequity and components have been replicated in other states (e.g., FL, IL, OR, WI). California evaluates the law by annually enumerating the municipalities that maintain compliant housing elements; yet, no agency can quantitatively state how the law has affected low-income housing production. My dissertation responds to this need. Using content analysis and regression, my mixed-methods investigation examined data from Los Angeles and Sacramento region municipalities (n=51), determined how low-income housing production changed over time (e.g., 1990 to 2007), and hypothesized that low-income and annual housing production were a function of housing demand, growth, political will, existing housing supply, subsidy--not the law. I found that as my sample's municipal compliance increased over time, their low-income housing production was deficient, but their market-rate production exceeded the State's goal--exacerbating inequity. For low-income housing production, the conceptual model did not establish a statistical relationship; however, tax and license revenues, state transfers, municipal area, and adjacent cities maintained statistical relationships (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the reproduction cost of housing has increased, consumers have made intensive use of existing dwellings. Conversions of the housing stock have regained prominence as a source of supply. This book introduces the accessory apartment and assesses its potential as an emerging resource for meeting local and national housing needs. Although accessory apartments help meet some of the nation's housing needs, they are not entirely without problems. Some of these are environmental problems, such as physical alterations that are out of character with the design and appearance of surrounding structures, while other problems are cultural and ideological. The accessory apartment in a single-family house deviates from the image of housing, family, and neighborhood that prevails in American culture. It symbolizes a change in the way the single-family house is used and the kinds of people who live in it. These changes clash with the traditional meanings attached to the categories of residential zoning. Martin Gellen evaluates and answers the following questions throughout the text: How do we live with accessory apartments? Control their number? Ensure their soundness?--and maintain neighborhood standards? He focuses on the physical planning problems of conversions and examines the zoning issues they raise. This includes a realistic appraisal of the purposes of density and occupancy controls in exclusive single-family districts. The author provides new methods for regulation of density and occupancy which permit more flexible use of single-family housing to meet the housing needs of a more diverse population. Whether in an aging suburb or new tract, the accessory apartment is a current challenge. This book provides a clear headed approach toward a popular trend in the ever changing housing industry.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
