are typically not addressed by Title 24 Regulations. The housing needs of persons with
disabilities, in addition to basic affordability, range from slightly modifying existing units to
requiring a varying range of supportive housing facilities.

of housing construction and rehabilitation targeted for persons with disabilities, including
persons with developmental disabilities.
• The City shall provide regulatory incentives, such as expedited permit processing and
fee waivers and deferrals, to projects targeted for persons with disabilities, including
persons with developmental disabilities.
• The City shall reach out annually to developers of supportive housing to encourage
development of projects targeted for persons with disabilities, including persons with
developmental disabilities.
• The City shall work with XXX Regional Center to implement an outreach program
informing families within the City of housing and services available for persons with
developmental disabilities. Information will be made available on the City's website.
