Legislation aimed to help speed up development of affordable housing across California was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday.
SACRAMENTO -- Legislation aimed to help speed up development of affordable housing across California was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday, in an effort to address the state's housing crisis.
According to Cortese's office, SB 406 aims to cut"repetitive" reviews under the California Environmental Quality Act or CEQA, while keeping the state's main environmental law intact. To address California's unprecedented housing crisis, local governments have taken steps to offer financial aid for developing affordable housing.
"Implementing CEQA this way is ineffective, repetitive, and ultimately causes delays and increased expenses for urgently needed affordable housing," the senator's office said.
