Encouraging permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, indoor emergency housing, and indoor emergency shelters.

Summary

The act requires local jurisdictions to allow permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, indoor emergency housing and indoor emergency shelters in any urban growth area zones where residential units or hotels are permitted, and to apply the same development standards and permitting processes as for other lodging. It bars extra local restrictions, sets uniform certification requirements for emergency shelters, and bars siting in critical, hazardous, or protected lands. The purpose is to speed the creation of safe, dignified housing for people experiencing homelessness.
