County of Tehama

The Tehama County Housing Element for the 2024-2029 planning period serves as a comprehensive roadmap to address housing needs and challenges within the unincorporated areas of Tehama County. It outlines goals, policies, and implementation programs focused on ensuring an adequate supply of diverse housing units, promoting affordability across all economic segments, and providing sufficient sites for future development. Key priorities include facilitating housing for special needs groups such as seniors, persons with disabilities, farmworkers, veterans, large families, and homeless individuals, while also working to conserve and improve the existing housing stock. The element further addresses governmental constraints, promotes fair housing and equal opportunity, and encourages energy conservation in residential development, all in compliance with state housing laws and through robust community involvement.

The document is the recommended budget for the County of Tehama for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. It includes details and amounts for each budget unit, which were approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 24, 2025, but are subject to further review. The budget schedules and format conform to the County Budget Act of 2010. The document includes a directory of elective and non-elective officers, a fund legend, and an index to contents, including departmental and special district budgets.

The Housing Element Update for Tehama County focuses on planning for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community, ensuring adequate zoning, and providing housing support for the entire community, including special needs households. It addresses the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), demographic and housing market trends, constraints to housing development, and resources and sites inventory. The plan includes policies and programs related to governmental and non-governmental factors, market trends, environmental and infrastructure considerations, zoning and capacity, ADUs and mobile homes, and a review of previous housing element implementation.
