Overview
This bill modifies how California cities and counties plan for housing, particularly for acutely low-income households. It defines a ‘housing unit’ for the seventh and subsequent revisions of the housing element, specifying it includes houses, apartments, and other living spaces. The bill also allows cities and counties that meet emergency shelter needs to report a portion of their interim housing units as approved for acutely low-income households, up to 50% of their regional housing need, provided they offer committed support for these units.
