Newsom's fiscal year 2019-2020 budget established the Prohousing Designation Program as part of a spectrum of support, incentives and accountability measures intended to help meet California's housing goals. The designation provides incentives to cities and counties in the form of"additional points and/or other preference in the scoring of competitive housing, community development and infrastructure funding programs administered by HCD," a statement from the state reads.
"Housing is the solution to homelessness, a key strategy for climate action and a path to economic opportunity for all — and we're doing everything we can at the city of San Diego to build more homes at prices our residents can afford," Mayor Todd Gloria said."By passing prohousing policies at the local level and leveraging new tools and funding provided by the governor and the Legislature, we will continue to build more homes, so everyone has a stable place to live.
