SMAP Reporting Period

SB 423 (Chapter 778, Statutes of 2023) defines the Reporting Period, for all jurisdictions except for the City and County of San Francisco, as the first half of the regional housing needs assessment (RHNA) cycle or the complete RHNA cycle. SB 423 changed the SMAP Determination for the City and County of San Francisco to be calculated annually, rather than at the mid-point or end of cycle.

Once a jurisdiction completes the first half of the 5th RHNA cycle, its next determination update will occur at the end of the 5th RHNA cycle. Thereafter, each jurisdiction’s determination is updated at the completion of the first half of the 6th RHNA cycle and again at the end of the 6th RHNA cycle. Subsequent RHNA progress evaluations will occur at the mid-point of the 7th RHNA cycle and again at the end of the 7th RHNA cycle. Please see the pages below for specific dates for each region’s determinations.

Introduction

SB 423 (Wiener, 2023), updated SB 35 (Wiener, 2017), and made changes to how SMAP Determination criteria are applied:

    1. Any jurisdiction in the 6th Housing Element Planning Cycle without a compliant Housing Element is now required to apply SMAP Streamlining for housing developments with 10% affordability. Any jurisdiction in the 7[th ] Housing Element Planning Cycle without a compliant Housing Element before the 7[th ] cycle Housing Element deadline is now required to apply SMAP Streamlining for housing developments with 10% affordability.
    1. Upon reaching Housing Element compliance, the jurisdiction reverts to the current SMAP Determination criteria (i.e., progress towards the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA)).
    1. SB 423 also changed the SMAP Determination for the City and County of San Francisco to be calculated annually, rather than at the mid-point or end of cycle.

A developer may submit an SB 330 preliminary application in partnership with SMAP applications to lock in the current SMAP Determination regardless of future changes to Housing Element compliance or subsequent SMAP Determination.

A developer can confirm the jurisdiction’s current compliance status using the SMAP Dashboard.

Annual Progress Reports (APRs) are on calendar years, while RHNA planning periods[1] may begin and end at various times throughout the year. When the planning period begins after July, the APR for that year is attributed to the prior RHNA cycle. When the planning period ends before July 1, the APR for that year will be attributed to the following RHNA cycle.

More detail is shown below by regional government or county and applies to all jurisdictions within the regional government or county.

Credit for Permitting during Projection Period

Jurisdictions may count permits that occurred during the 5th cycle projection period[2] before the planning period began on the first APR of the 5th cycle planning period.

APR Due Dates

APRs are due each April and report on the prior calendar year’s activities. As of April 1, 2026, the 2025 APRs and prior APRs were due. While HCD will continue to update APR data as APRs are received, permits from APRs received after June 1, 2026, will not count toward this determination of a jurisdiction’s eligibility for SMAP. The determination includes APRs received as of June 2, 20265.

1 Planning Period: The time period between the due date for one Housing Element and the due date for the next Housing Element. This time period can be either 8 or 5 years, depending on the jurisdiction. When the planning period begins after July 1, the APR for that year is attributed to the prior cycle.

2 Projection Period: The time period for which the RHNA is calculated.
