The statewide housing shortage in California has led to unprecedented efforts by State and local government to spur housing production. This push for housing development has resulted in significant changes in approach to housing production, with the State now enforcing housing element compliance much more strictly and issuing new requirements for streamlining housing approval.
In addition to the state-wide push for housing development, the State legislature also recognized the staggering loss of housing following the 2018 Camp Fire and the need to rapidly develop new housing projects in the region. In 2019, AB 430, the Camp Fire Housing Assistance Act, was signed into law to provide housing relief for Camp Fire victims by allowing housing developments in impacted areas to utilize a streamlined ministerial process at the local level to accelerate project approval.
