WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: \u00a0<\/strong>California is facing a housing crisis decades in the making. While some communities fail to meet state housing goals, others have earned the distinction of being Prohousing. Prohousing communities get priority for resources to build housing to help meet the statewide goal of 2.5 million homes by 2030.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Sacramento \u2013 Governor Gavin Newsom announced today that the cities of\u00a0Eureka, Healdsburg, Mountain View, Petaluma, San Luis Obispo, Santa Monica,\u00a0<\/strong>and the\u00a0County of Tulare<\/strong>, have earned the Prohousing designation by cutting red tape and speeding up housing approvals. Today\u2019s announcement brings the total number of California\u2019s Prohousing communities to 37.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to aggressively build more housing to support Californians. Prohousing cities move to the front of the line when it comes to incentives, funding and other state resources. It\u2019s critical for more communities to join in this distinction and build their fair share of housing.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n

WHY\u00a0IT MATTERS:\u00a0<\/strong>The state needs to plan for 2.5 million new homes by 2030. Reaching this goal will only be possible with the concerted efforts of state and local governments actively working to implement state housing laws and best practices. The Prohousing designation rewards communities that are willing to reduce barriers to construction, lower costs, and create overall housing policies aligned with state goals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Prohousing communities receive additional points in the scoring of competitive housing, community development, and infrastructure funding administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunities whether large or small, rural or urban, are actively working to accelerate the development of housing for Californians at all income levels,\u201d said HCD Director Gustavo Velasquez. \u201cWe are pleased to be able to reward our Prohousing partners with incentives to help them build on their innovative efforts to break down barriers to development.\u201d<\/p>\n

For local leaders, earning the Prohousing designation takes commitment to policies that accelerate housing production and minimize obstacles. These leaders actively work with the state to combat homelessness and increase the availability of affordable housing in their jurisdictions, bettering the quality of life for all Californians. Jurisdictions earning the Prohousing designation are aggressively taking on that challenge with resilience, steadfast determination, and accountability.<\/p>\n
