Annual California Housing Law Implementation and Updates

Online

California housing law continues to evolve to address the critical housing shortage. Code changes and ongoing housing planning requirements from the state level will directly affect local communities as they work to bridge the housing gap. This class will cover these recent code changes, explore how some communities have worked cooperatively and creatively to respond and adapt to legislation and local needs for a variety of housing types, and provide insights on regular processes and documents utilized for housing planning such as Housing Elements and General Plan Updates.

This course is designed for planners, public employees, developers, architects, engineers and all professionals interested in housing in California. Students will leave the course with a stronger understanding of recent housing policy updates, a menu of strategic housing policies to consider, and technical information on the requirements of major housing planning documents.
