Catch up on housing and homelessness bills signed by CA Governor Gavin Newsom that significantly impact housing and homelessness in this comprehensive round-up by Jacqueline Woo, GPLA's Legislative Analysis Manager.
Looking for a cheat sheet on key housing and homelessness bills signed by Governor Gavin Newsom by the September 30 deadline? Look no further than our recent article which provides a full rundown of bills signed, vetoed, and those that didn't make it through the session. Key themes of the legislative session were housing enforcement and accountability, maximizing density on underutilized properties to reinforce housing production, and accountability for legislation passed in previous years. #CAhousing #affordablehousing #housinglegislation
Underscoring the intensity of the #housingcrisis, two landmark plans have recently been introduced from the Harris-Walz presidential campaign and from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Tina Smith. Although these plans highlight different approaches to solving the housing crisis, their timeliness reflects a new sense of urgency and attention in Washington. Both plans reflect elements of Vienna’s social housing program. Our recent article by Anu Natarajan, Managing Director, Global Housing Practice, provides a rundown of the key differences. #affordablehousing #socialhousing #newsocialhousing #mixedincomehousing
