Adaptation and Resilience Technical Assistance Program

HASPA Shoreline Adaptation Implementation Plan

The Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency (HASPA) is a Joint-Powers Authority that convenes the City of Hayward, East Bay Regional Park District, Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, and Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District to advance a unified vision for shoreline resilience. With funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the San Francisco Estuary Partnership (SFEP), and HASPA, this project brings together a team of designers, engineers and planners to work with local agencies and community members to determine more efficient and collaborative governance structures, prioritize potential capital projects, and develop an implementation strategy for the 2021 Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan.

This work lays the foundation for coordinated, long-term investments in flood protection and ecological restoration across the entire Hayward shoreline. This 18-month planning project is anticipated to conclude in January 2027.
