65584.04.
 (a) At least two years before  prior to  a scheduled revision required by Section 65588, each council of governments, or delegate subregion as applicable, shall develop, in consultation with the department,  develop  a proposed methodology for distributing the existing and projected regional housing need to cities, counties, and cities and counties within the region or within the subregion, where applicable pursuant to this section. The methodology shall further  be consistent with  the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584. The methodology developed by the association, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 65584.10, or delegate subregion within the association, as applicable, shall ensure that the distribution of housing need to each local government within the association is in compliance with Section 65584.10. 
(b) (1) No more than six months before  prior to  the development of a proposed methodology for distributing the existing and projected housing need, each council of governments shall survey each of its member jurisdictions to request, at a minimum, information regarding the factors listed in subdivision (e) (d)  that will allow the development of a methodology based upon the factors established in subdivision (e). (d). 
(2) With respect to the objective in paragraph (5) of subdivision (d) of Section 65584, the survey shall review and compile information that will allow the development of a methodology based upon the issues, strategies, and actions that are included, as available, in an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice or an Assessment of Fair Housing completed by any city or county or the department that covers communities within the area served by the council of governments, and in housing elements adopted pursuant to this article by cities and counties within the area served by the council of governments.

(5) (4)  If the council of governments fails to conduct a survey pursuant to this subdivision, a city, county, or city and county may submit information related to the items listed in subdivision (e) before  (d) prior to  the public comment period provided for in subdivision (d). (c). 
(c) The council of governments shall electronically report the results of the survey of fair housing issues, strategies, and actions compiled pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b). The report shall describe common themes and effective strategies employed by cities and counties within the area served by the council of governments, including common themes and effective strategies around avoiding the displacement of lower income households. The council of governments shall also identify significant barriers to affirmatively furthering fair housing at the regional level and may recommend strategies or actions to overcome those barriers. A council of governments or metropolitan planning organization, as appropriate, may use this information for any other purpose, including publication within a regional transportation plan adopted pursuant to Section 65080 or to inform the land use assumptions that are applied in the development of a regional transportation plan.
(d) (c)  Public participation and access shall be required in the development of the methodology and in the process of drafting and adoption of the allocation of the regional housing needs. Participation by organizations other than local jurisdictions and councils of governments shall be solicited in a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community as well as members of protected classes under Section 12955.  community.  The proposed methodology, along with any relevant underlying data and assumptions, and  an explanation of how information about local government conditions gathered pursuant to subdivision (b) has been used to develop the proposed methodology, and  how each of the factors listed in subdivision (e) (d)  is incorporated into the methodology, and how the proposed methodology furthers the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584,  shall be distributed to all cities, counties, any subregions, and members of the public who have made a written or electronic  request for the proposed methodology and published on the council of governments’, or delegate subregion’s, internet website.  methodology.  The council of governments, or delegate subregion, as applicable, shall conduct at least one public hearing to receive oral and written comments on the proposed methodology.
