Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Status Update

*Updated through 2024 APR Report

• Very Low and Low-Income housing is typically rental product. 
• Above Moderate is market rate. 
• Moderate product tends to be close to market rate due to the high Average Median Income in Santa Clara County (highest in California).
