Doug, et. al.:  

Below for your information is the link to HCD's latest update of
an electronic bibliography on JHB issues. . . it includes the work
done on this issue by the MPOs and others for the Inter-Regional
Partnerships (IRP) Program in the earlier part of the decade (link
excerpted below).  The IRP Program was a forerunner of the Regional
Blueprint Program.

Jobs-housing balance resources // Issues related to the spatial
relationship between the location of jobs and housing have posed a
persistent planning challenge for some time. This bibliography
includes the work of researchers and planning practitioners in
tackling these issues which are found to defy �one-size-fits-all�
prescriptions. Planning for and attaining an adequate supply of
housing located within a reasonable commute distance of compatible
employment opportunities for the workforce involves complex
relationships.

�This report describes and evaluates the California Inter-Regional
Partnership (IRP) Program as of 2004, and also includes a
literature review of jobs-housing relationships. The purpose of the
IRP Program was to �encourage state land-use patterns that balance
the location of employment-generating uses so that
employment-related commuting is minimized,� and to provide a forum
for some of the State�s most impacted regions to deal
collaboratively on issues regarding jobs, housing, and
transportation. �This report includes an overview of the IRP
Program, evaluates issues relating to jobs-housing relationships,
summarizes lessons from the IRP projects, and includes highlights
of the summary reports of each of the eight IRPs funded by the
program�. The report ddvises there is no �one size fits all�
prescription for these issues; it is necessary to evaluate each
context to identify appropriate strategies. �� (ps. ES-1, 18)
