Households at every income level shall be able to find housing that is <br /> affordable. Assistance shall be made available to fill affordability gaps for specified households that cannot <br /> find affordable housing. Affordability of housing shall be evaluated at identified project intervals,but no less <br /> than one such evaluation every five years.

Rezoning of higher density <br /> residential land(e.g., R/H)to lower density land(e.g.,R/M)uses shall be approved only if the County <br /> determines that the proposed rezoning will not have a negative impact on the Mountain House Jobs/Housing <br /> Program and the Affordable Housing Program. <br /> b. <br /> The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors shall hold a Public Hearing, referred to formally as an <br /> Affordable Housing Program Review,to review the progress of the Affordable Housing Program.
