housing needs are extremely low-income households. As a result, from the very low-income need of 6 allocated by HCD, the County has projected a need of 5 units for extremely low-income households. Previously, Mono County allocated its overall regional housing needs to communities in the unincorporated area based on the percentage of the population in each community area. Due to concerns in some communities over the arbitrary nature of such an allocation, the County has decided to no longer allocate its regional housing needs to community areas. To address community concerns about the placement of housing for low- and very low-income households in community areas, the County has amended a program in the Housing Element to require the County to utilize a variety of factors, including current and projected population figures, economic conditions, transportation systems, the potential for rehabilitation, and the availability of utilities and infrastructure, when considering the placement of affordable housing throughout the County. Table 24 shows the number of housing units by income group permitted in the unincorporated portion of Mono County between January 2007 and December 2013, based on actual sales prices, type of construction and size of the units constructed.
