Sec.  91.205  Housing and homeless needs assessment.



    (a) General. The consolidated plan must provide a concise summary of 

the jurisdiction's estimated housing needs projected for the ensuing 

five-year period. Housing data included in this portion of the plan 

shall be based on U.S.



[[Page 563]]



Census data, as provided by HUD, as updated by any properly conducted 

local study, or any other reliable source that the jurisdiction clearly 

identifies, and should reflect the consultation with social service 

agencies and other entities conducted in accordance with Sec.  91.100 

and the citizen participation process conducted in accordance with Sec.  

91.105. For a jurisdiction seeking funding on behalf of an eligible 

metropolitan statistical area under the HOPWA program, the needs 

described for housing and supportive services must address the unmet 

needs of low-income persons with HIV/AIDS and their families throughout 

the eligible metropolitan statistical area.

    (b) Categories of persons affected. (1) The plan shall estimate the 

number and type of families in need of housing assistance for extremely 

low-income, low-income, moderate-income, and middle-income families, for 

renters and owners, for elderly persons, for single persons, for large 

families, for public housing residents, for families on the public 

housing and section 8 tenant-based waiting list, for persons with HIV/

AIDS and their families, and for persons with disabilities. The 

description of housing needs shall include a concise summary of the cost 

burden and severe cost burden, overcrowding (especially for large 

families), and substandard housing conditions being experienced by 

extremely low-income, low-income, moderate-income, and middle-income 

renters and owners compared to the jurisdiction as a whole. (The 

jurisdiction must define in its consolidated plan the terms ``standard 

condition'' and ``substandard condition but suitable for 

rehabilitation.'')

    (2) For any of the income categories enumerated in paragraph (b)(1) 

of this section, to the extent that any racial or ethnic group has 

disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that 

category as a whole, assessment of that specific need shall be included. 

For this purpose, disproportionately greater need exists when the 

percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a 

particular racial or ethnic group in a category of need is at least 10 

percentage points higher than the percentage of persons in the category 

as a whole.

    (c) Homeless needs. The plan must provide a concise summary of the 

nature and extent of homelessness (including rural homelessness and 

chronically homeless persons), addressing separately the need for 

facilities and services for homeless individuals and homeless families 

with children, both sheltered and unsheltered, and homeless 

subpopulations, in accordance with a table prescribed by HUD. This 

description must include the characteristics and needs of low-income 

individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) 

who are currently housed but threatened with homelessness. The plan also 

must contain a brief narrative description of the nature and extent of 

homelessness by racial and ethnic group, to the extent information is 

available.

    (d) Other special needs. (1) The jurisdiction shall estimate, to the 

extent practicable, the number of persons who are not homeless but 

require supportive housing, including the elderly, frail elderly, 

persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons 

with alcohol or other drug addiction, persons with HIV/AIDS and their 

families, public housing residents, and any other categories the 

jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs.

    (2) With respect to a jurisdiction seeking funding on behalf of an 

eligible metropolitan statistical area under the HOPWA program, the plan 

must identify the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/

AIDS and their families within the eligible metropolitan statistical 

area it will serve.

    (e) Lead-based paint hazards. The plan must estimate the number of 

housing units within the jurisdiction that are occupied by low-income 

families or moderate-income families that contain lead-based paint 

hazards, as defined in this part.
