This session, the CA Legislature has over 220 housing bills. Below are the ones we believe will be the most effective at building homes for everyone!
What It Does: This bill provides a CEQA exemption for multifamily housing in already-developed urban areas. By exempting individual housing proposals in infill locations, throughout California, this will make it easier and faster to build environmentally-friendly housing
What It Does: This bill allows the Assembly to dedicate $10B to affordable housing for a June 2026 bond measure. This is in conjunction with Senator Cabaldon's efforts in the Assembly with SB 417
What It Does: This bill requires fast-tracked approvals for buildings that are being re-built after a natural disaster. This is exactly the kind of support we need to build back in LA in response to the tragic fires earlier this year
What It Does: This bill added electric corporations as a "local agency" to ensure they process post-entitlement permits in a timely fashion. This will ensure companies like PG&E do their part and don't hold up housing
What It Does: This bill will make it faster and easier to build multi-family housing near transit stops, like train and rapid bus lines, by making it legal for more homes to be built in these areas and streamlining existing permit review processes.
What It Does: This bill will expand the existing welfare tax exemption for affordable housing to include moderate-income housing, making it easier to build housing that serves teachers, paramedics, firefighters, and construction works in our communities.
What It Does: This bill allows the Senate to dedicate $10B to affordable housing for a June 2026 bond measure. This is in conjunction with Assemblymember Wicks efforts in the Assembly with AB 736
What It Does: This bill reforms California’s Environmental Quality Act, making several key changes to make CEQA more efficient. Speeding up the CEQA process helps lower the cost of housing and makes it faster and easier to build.
What It Does: This bill improves existing law ensuring the right to build duplexes and fourplexes in residential neighborhoods, and strengthens streamlining for multi-family properties in urban areas. This will increase opportunities for home ownership.
Unfortunately, there are bills that would take us backwards on housing abundance. These are our top priorities to oppose
What It Does: This bill seeks to remove the teeth from the Builder's Remedy by making it easier for scofflaw cities to deny housing proposals submitted under it by abusing process while claiming to close loopholes.
