LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1771, as introduced, Bloom. Regional housing needs assessment.

Under existing law, the Legislature has declared that the availability of affordable housing is of vital statewide importance and requires cooperation at all levels of government. Existing law declares that local and state governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provisions for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community. Existing law provides for a council of governments, consisting of a single or multicounty council created by a joint powers agreement, and requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to consult with each council of governments to determine the existing and projected need for housing in each region, as specified.

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would make changes to the process for distributing regional housing needs to various jurisdictions to ensure fairness and the achievement of stated goals regarding housing.
