What is the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)?

RHNA is the process to determine the number of housing units, at all income levels, that a jurisdiction is required to plan for under California law. The plan for RHNA allocation must be included in the “Housing Element” section of the local government’s General Plan, which is reviewed and approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
