<br />"Cluster" Plans 0/'1 .. <br />In addition, there will be situations where expanding affordable and life-cycle housing . <br />opportunities within the borders of a community may be impractical or impossible. In some <br />communities there may be physical limitations leaving little or no land left for residential <br />development. In others marketplace realities, such as prohibitive land costs, may effectively make .. <br />the development of additional affordable housing impossible. There will be other situations where <br />cities have historically functioned as a larger cluster of communities beyond their own borders- <br />particularly smaller cities with similar development patterns and common places of commercial <br />and social activity. These communities may find it more appropriate to propose to meet housing I <br />goals in a broader, collaborative effort. <br />These and other situations may be particularly appropriate for the developm$lnt of a joint action I <br />plan for a "cluster" of communities as permitted by the LCA Cities participating in the LeA may <br />decide for themselves whether they want to collaborate with neighboring communities in I <br />preparing a joint plan to achieve the housing goals ofthe collaborating cities. Just as in individual <br />city action plans, cluster plans should set forth the housing assistance, rehabilitation and <br />development programs that may be used by the cooperating communities, and the actions I <br />regarding local official controls to be undertaken by each of the members of the cluster. <br />Implementation Actions I <br />Implementation efforts to achieve affordable and life-cycle housing goals may differ significantly <br />from city to city. A community's level of urbanization and development may indicate an approach <br />to housing issues that is different from that of its neighbor. The implementation actions proposed I <br />by one community may not be applicable or appropriate for another community. For example, the <br />housing activities of a fully developed, first ring suburb may differ greatly from the residential <br />subdivision development in developing area communities. Such factors as the current housing .. <br />situation in the city or cluster and future housing needs as suggested by the age and household <br />composition of its population and its household and employment forecasts, the age and condition <br />of the housing stock, and the amount ofland available for residential development, should all be I <br />considered in developing the action plan <br />The housing action plan should address the kinds of implementation tools and programs set forth . <br />below and the general time frame in which their efforts will be undertaken. The plan should <br />identify, as best as possible, the number of households to be assisted, or housing units to be <br />produced or rehabilitated through the various programs and activities to be employed by the I <br />community. To the degree possible, the plan should identify the income levels of the households <br />to be assisted through the city's efforts, e.g., the number of households or percent of assistance to <br />be directed to households of very low income - 30 percent of median, low income - 50 percent of <br />median, and moderate income - 80 percent of median income. Where poSsible, it should identify I <br />efforts that will be targeted specifically toward the elderly, families, homeowners and renters. <br />Below are examples of programs and local efforts in which communities may participate to further - <br />their affordable and life-cycle housing objectives. These are the kil}ds of efforts that should be in <br />a community's LCA housing action plan: <br />Housing Assistance Programs I <br />An action plan to implement the community's LCA goals should indicate the housing . <br />assistance programs to be used by and in the community, and the best estimate of how <br />many households will be helped by such programs each year or over the period of years <br />covered by the action plan. .. <br />2 <br /> I <br />
