Needs Assessment <br />NA -05 Overview <br />Needs Assessment Overview <br />6.3.A. - Page 29 <br />This Housing Needs Assessment presents information on Redwood City's resident population, housing <br />stock characteristics, and employment trends. This information lays the foundation for the goals, <br />policies, and programs that aim to address these housing needs. <br />Several factors influence the degree of demand, or "need," for housing in Redwood City. The four major <br />needs categories considered in this report, consistent with State law, include: <br />• Housing needs resulting from population growth, both in the city and the surrounding region <br />• Housing needs resulting from the overcrowding of units <br />• Housing needs that result when households pay more than they can afford for housing <br />• Housing needs of "special needs groups" such as elderly, large families, female -headed <br />households, households with a disabled person, and homeless persons <br />-Su rnm aryaf •Exi sting• H ousi3ng•N eedM <br />Household s•Experiencing•Cost•Burdeno <br />Rentem <br />6,29514 <br />Ownem <br />5,7600:1 <br />Totain <br />12,9.55tE <br />•• Extremely - Low- I n come•(6-3 0 . <br />M FI )t4 <br />83%l:f <br />Special •N eedsrou psV <br />Senlorstt <br />Disabled•Personsfx <br />Large-Householdspl <br />Fe ma I e• H ea d ed •House holds< <br />veryLow-Inoome•(31-506-MFl)t4 Female Headed Households with <br />77%ri Childremf <br />I ••Low-Income•(51-8D%•MFI)u 41M Homeless< <br />Overcrowded-"onseholdstE Cf <br />Rentem 2,89711 [I <br />Affordable.
