The CPPs provide a countywide vision and serve as a framework for each jurisdiction in developing and updating its <br />own comprehensive plan, which must be consistent with the overall goals for the future of King County. For the <br />Housing Element, CPPs envision a four -step process: <br />1. Conduct an inventory and analysis of housing needs and conditions; <br />2. Implement policies and strategies to address unmet needs; <br />3. Measure results; and <br />4. Respond to measurement with reassessment and adjustment of strategies. <br />According to the Countywide Planning Policies, the countywide need for housing by percentage of Area Median <br />Income is: <br />50 -80% AMI (moderate) <br />30 -50% of AMI (low) <br />30% and below AMI (very -low) <br />16% of total housing supply <br />12% of total housing supply <br />12% of total housing supply <br />In addition to goals and policies to meet the housing need for all economic and demographic groups, CPPs and GMA <br />both require a housing inventory and needs analysis of existing and projected housing needs. In addition to <br />describing local information such as cost, population demographics, and income levels, the inventory and analysis <br />report should also include information on current and future housing condition is also required.
