Summary

The bill expands California’s Homekey housing program to let awarded funds be used for converting existing non‑residential buildings—such as hotels or motels—into new rental units. It creates a separate project category, removes per‑unit cost caps, and sets longer construction and occupancy deadlines. The changes aim to increase permanent housing for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including youth.
