Bill overview
This bill significantly alters how California funds affordable housing projects. It creates a new agency, the California Housing and Homelessness Agency, and requires state housing entities to consider local contributions when awarding funding. Specifically, it mandates that if a city or county hasn’t waived development impact fees, the funding amount for their project will be reduced. The bill also revises the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) program, requiring data collection on homelessness demographics and adjusting funding allocation procedures. Furthermore, it establishes a Disaster Rebuilding Assistance Program and modifies the allocation of funds through the Strategic Growth Council’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program. Finally, it makes changes to the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program and clarifies building standards for mixed-income developments.
