Section DA Existing Housing Programs Review <br />This Appendix documents the implementation status of the current Housing <br />Element programs. The main purpose is to evaluate which programs were <br />successful and should be continued, and which programs were ineffective and ■ <br />should be eliminated or modified. EI■D <br />Many of the current Housing Element programs are ongoing City efforts or were <br />successfully completed. These programs have facilitated affordable housing during the planning <br />period, such as Kottinger Gardens (185 units for lower income elderly) and Sunflower Hill (31 <br />units affordable to adults with developmental disabilities). The City has also removed <br />governmental constraints through various Municipal Code amendments, including an updated <br />Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance, allowances for supportive and transitional housing, <br />and modifications to the Growth Management Program. As a result, most programs are <br />recommended to be continued with some being updated to reflect changes since the last Housing <br />Element adoption or merged with other programs to reduce overlap. <br />Recommended program modifications include integrating state law updates (e.g., no net loss (SB <br />166), Housing Crisis Act (SB 330), supportive housing, emergency shelters, etc.) and providing <br />more specificity in terms of City actions. Modifications are also recommended based on the <br />housing needs assessment (Appendix A), housing constraints analysis (Appendix C), and <br />affirmatively furthering fair housing analysis (Appendix F). Programs that can be effectively <br />addressed through other existing or modified programs are recommended to be deleted. <br />Please see Table D-1 for the analysis of existing programs. <br />D-2 I City of Pleasanton Existing Programs Review <br />
