Summary

The bill changes the state’s housing element rules so that cities and counties must analyze current and future housing needs, pinpoint non‑governmental constraints, and set up a rezoning program with specific timelines. It also creates a process for regional housing‑need calculations and for councils of governments to develop and distribute draft allocation plans. The goal is to close the gap between housing plans and actual construction, especially for low‑income households.
