Cal Cities Planning Commissioners Academy
Event Single

Details

California Housing Law encompasses a set of regulations and policies aimed at addressing the state's housing needs and promoting equitable development. This presentation will explore the foundational aspects of California's housing laws, including key statutes such as the California Housing Accountability Act and the Housing Element Law. We will discuss how these laws guide local governments in planning and approving housing projects, ensuring compliance with state housing goals, and addressing issues of affordability and accessibility. Additionally, we will review recent legislative updates and initiatives designed to tackle housing shortages, streamline development processes, and promote sustainable growth. By understanding these basic principles, stakeholders can better navigate the complex landscape of California’s housing policies and contribute to effective solutions for housing challenges. By being well-versed in California housing laws, Planning Commissioners are better equipped to make informed, legally compliant decisions that address local housing needs, promote equitable development, and contribute to the overall well-being of their communities.
