(2) Unit category (i.e., single family, 2-4 units, 5 or more units, second-unit, mobilehome).

(3) Tenure of the unit(s) (i.e., owner or renter), where apparent at time of project application.

(4) Total number of units affordable to each of the following household income groups at initial occupancy: very low-income, low-income, and moderate-income, above moderate-income when included as part of a mixed-income multifamily development. Assignment of units to appropriate income group shall be based on any one of the following:

However, if the information is not based on building permits, the jurisdiction must provide an explanation as to how these units were determined to be assigned to the reporting period. Upon request by the Department, the city or city and county shall provide back-up documentation for the information provided.
