CaliforniaCalifornia housing officials would prepare funding plans if lawmakers funded implementation
The vetoed bill would require California housing officials to estimate housing funding needs, seek public input, and track progress, if lawmakers funded implementation.
What it does
If lawmakers funded implementation, state housing officials would prepare two funding plans by August 1, 2030. They would seek public input on addressing homelessness and meeting affordable housing needs.
If lawmakers funded implementation, housing officials would set yearly measures of progress. The state housing agency would report to lawmakers by October 1, 2030, and publish goals and progress online.
Argument forIf funded, public input and published goals could help people facing homelessness assess whether housing plans reflect their needs.
Argument againstIf funded, planning, public consultation, and reporting could take housing officials’ time without directly providing people with homes or rental help.
More detail
The Department of Housing and Community Development would estimate the funding needed to address homelessness and meet affordable housing needs. The plans would cover housing needs for people experiencing or expected to enter homelessness and affordable housing needs identified in the latest regional housing assessment. Lawmakers would need to set aside money for implementation. The plans would account for expected federal, local, and existing state investments. Officials would seek public input, including from people who have experienced homelessness or unstable housing. Both plans would be due no later than August 1, 2030.
