April 19, 2001 meeting. The Housing Commission recommends that two revisions
recommended by the Housing and Redevelopment Division be made to the Draft 2000-
2005 Housing Element. (Attachment A.)

1
continue to include a program that was included in the 1998-2003 Housing Element as
follows:

units to ownership units in exchange for permanently deed-restricted units.
This revision is included on page VI-20 of the Draft 2000-2005 Housing Element dated

April 24, 2001. (Attachment C to the original staff report.)

I
Update for review by the Housing Commission prior to City Counci review and adoption
of the document scheduled for April 24, 2000.
DISCUSSION
In recent months the Housing Commission has received various r ports on the status of
the City's 2000-2005 Housing Element Update. These included 'a December 7, 2000
presentation on the Housing Element Update and a March 15,2001 presentation on one
of the most important components of the Housing Element, the Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA).
This Update is technical in nature, meaning that the changes to the document are limited
to those needed to bring the document into compliance with recent changes in state law.
