SACRAMENTO - California Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced that Long Beach, Moreno Valley, Santa Rosa, Sonoma County and the town of Windsor are among the latest batch of designated"prohousing" communities demonstrating a commitment to enacting policies to accelerate housing production.
The announcement Friday of the five new prohousing communities comes as California faces a severe housing shortage. The state's population is expected to grow by 10 million by 2050, and the deficit will only worsen without more housing. With the five jurisdictions announced Friday, 27 California communities have been designated as prohousing, including eight from the Bay Area. Communities that earn the prohousing designation receive additional points or other preferences in scoring competitive funding programs by the state's Department of Housing and Community Development.
