C. Publicly Supported Housing Analysis <br />1. Analysis <br />a. Publicly Supported Housing Demographics <br />The Publicly Supported Housing section analyzes federally funded affordable housing and <br />other types of affordable housing, to determine whether the level of need is being met and whether <br />patterns of affordable housing siting concentrate minorities in low opportunity areas, among other <br />things. In Orange County, each category of publicly supported housing (public housing, Project - <br />Based Section 8, Other Multifamily Housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and LIHTC units) is <br />represented, although that representation varies greatly depending on the individual municipality. <br />Affordable housing (including LIHTC) makes up 5% or less of the total housing stock in all but <br />six of the entitlement jurisdictions in this analysis (Anaheim, Garden Grove, Irvine, La Palma, <br />Santa Ana, and Westminster; incomplete data is available for Buena Park, which likely counts <br />among these as well). In each of these jurisdictions, LIHTC and Housing Choice Voucher units <br />tend to predominate, and there is no Public Housing at all, indicating an overall preference for <br />private housing development. Overall, it is clear that the amount of publicly supported housing <br />available in Orange County does not rise to meet the level of need, although progress is being <br />made. <br />Table 1: Publicly Supported Housing Units by Program Category, Orange County <br />Housing Units <br /># <br />% <br />219,058 <br />Total housing units <br />N/a <br />N/a <br />Public Housing <br />429 <br />0.20% <br />Project -based Section 8 <br />33 <br />0.02% <br />Other Multifamily <br />2 ,286 <br />1.04% <br />HCV Program <br />2,110 <br />0.96% <br />LIHTC <br />Table 2: Publicly Supported Housing Units by Program Category, Aliso Viejo <br />Housing Units <br /># <br />19,786 <br />Total housing units <br />128 <br />0.65% <br />LIHTC <br />Table 3: Publicly Supported Housinu Units by Program Cateuory, Anaheim <br />Housing Units <br /># <br />% <br />Total housing units <br />103,787 <br />215 <br />75A-494 <br />
