Three working groups were convened to advise the Council on the development of the <br />Housing Performance Score methodology, the Allocation of Affordable Housing Need <br />methodology, and the requirements for housing elements of local comprehensive plans. The <br />first two groups continued work begun in subgroups of the original Housing Policy Plan Work <br />Group (HPPWG), supplemented with additional participants. The Council invited additional <br />participants to add perspectives that were lost when some original HPPWG members did <br />not reengage beyond their initial commitment, which ended when the original Housing Policy <br />Plan was adopted in December 2014. The third group was new and consisted of some <br />original HPPWG members (all members were invited to participate) and a significant addition <br />of technical staff from our partners in the local government community, particularly those <br />with expertise and experience in the comprehensive planning process. <br />Each of the three groups met a total of three times during January and February of 2015, <br />contributing a wealth of information, questions, and perspectives to consider in the drafting <br />of the 2015 amendment to the Housing Policy Plan.
