	 permits, fees, environmental review requirements, and 
	affordable housing agreements to avoid costly delays in

	good faith effort to meet the housing needs of very low, low 
	and moderate income households in their area in a manner 
	that is not disproportionate for any community and which 
	recognizes the degree of effort made in prior years. (Existing

	 residents, the City shall update its website to include 
	information on affordable housing, housing programs, and 
	inclusionary units. (New Program)

	trends of existing units and new units to determine housing 
	affordability levels. (New Program)
	(3.3B) The City shall continue to provide funding for minor 	South San Francisco
	repairs of homes owned and occupied by low-income senior 
	citizens. Eligible repairs include plumbing, electrical,
