What is a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)? What is Yorba Linda’s allocated number?

RHNA is a State-mandated process quantifying the need for housing in each city and county throughout the State. The RHNA process assigns a total number of housing units that each local government must plan for with its land use policies and outlines the general price points that the housing should seek to target. The RHNA Housing Allocation for Yorba Linda is 2,415 units for the 6th Cycle (2021-29) meaning the City must devise a plan and related zoning to allow for the potential development of 2,415 housing units in the City to be built by 2029.
