Inventory ConsiderationsInventory Considerations
●HCD recommends 15-30% Buffer above
RHNA, though not a requirement, it
provides greater assurance of meeting
housing needs at all income levels (SB 166)
●City meeting Low and Market-rate housing
through Pipeline, Buffer less a concern for
Pipeline
●Recommended Inventory has 27% Buffer
