The housing crisis in California triggered a lot of State legislation in the past few years intended to stimulate more housing development, including more affordable housing. Frustrated by the slow pace of new housing development in local areas, the Legislature passed bills intended to remove barriers and encourage housing construction. These new policies challenge state-local power sharing in an area that had long been primarily a local concern. Our guest speaker, Ben Christopher, Housing Reporter for CalMatters, will review this housing policy revolution and share some of the main outcomes before looking ahead to next steps for both state and local jurisdictions. Learn how the state of California has adopted policies to increase housing supply, including affordable housing, and how this may impact you.
