2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report <br />May 6, 2025 <br />Page 3 <br />City of Santa Ana in 2024, in addition to the status of the implementation actions and <br />programs to achieve the City's housing vision in the state mandated form. <br />The Housing Element Annual Progress Report also measures the City's progress to meet <br />state -mandated housing goals as set forth in our Regional Housing Needs Allocation <br />(RHNA) for the 6th cycle planning period (2021-2029). Through a process referred to as <br />"RHNA," each jurisdiction is given a target for how many permits to issue in four housing <br />income categories ranging from very —low income (affordable to those who earn 50% or <br />less of the Area Median Income [AMI]), to above moderate income (more than 120% of <br />AMI). Based on the income limits published by State HCD in May of 2024, the Area <br />Median Income for Orange County is $129,000. <br />The Housing Element portion of the report includes a summary of Santa Ana's progress <br />in meeting its share of the RHNA allocation for the 6th cycle. There were a total of 262 <br />building permits issued for new housing units in 2024, of which 48 housing units are <br />affordable to very low-income and 81 to low-income households, respectively. With the <br />issuance of these permits, the City has issued 4,439 building permits during the 6th cycle <br />planning period, exceeding its total allocation of 3,137 by 1,302 (142%). <br />Progress Towards 2021-2029 RHNA Goal <br />(New Housing Units by Category and Year) <br />Total <br />Total Units <br />%of RHNA <br />Income <br />RHNA <br />2021 <br />2022 <br />2023 <br />2024 <br />2025 <br />2026 <br />2027 <br />2028 <br />2029 <br />Units <br />Remaining <br />Completed <br />Very <br />Low <br />606 <br />41 <br />191 <br />64 <br />48 <br />344 <br />262 <br />57% <br />Low <br />362 <br />43 <br />102 <br />1 113 <br />81 <br />339 <br />23 <br />94% <br />Mod. <br />545 <br />11 <br />41 <br />84 <br />65 <br />201 <br />1 344 <br />37% <br />Above <br />Mod. <br />1,624 <br />639 <br />567 <br />2,281 <br />68 <br />3,555 <br />(1,931) <br />219% <br />Total: <br />3,1371 <br />,137 <br />734 <br />1 901 <br />2,542 <br />262 <br />4,439 <br />(1,302) <br />142% <br />Based on building permits issued.
