The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) released a new Statewide Housing Plan, which sets a bold path forward to meet California’s required goal of adding at least 2.5 million homes over roughly eight years, with no less than one million of those homes targeted for lower-income households. This represents the cumulative number of homes that cities and counties across California must zone for through 2030 by law and is more than double the housing planned for in the last eight-year housing needs cycle.
