With California’s desirable climate, diverse economy and many of the nation’s top colleges, the state continues to experience strong housing demand; however, housing construction is constrained by regulatory barriers, high costs, and fewer public resources. While California’s housing challenges may appear to be overwhelming, California’s Housing Future:
Challenges and Opportunities provides the data and analysis to describe the problem and frame the discussion surrounding solutions. The final Statewide Housing Assessment describes California’s housing
challenges, provides a Housing Action Plan with a set of strategies that should be implemented immediately to address these challenges, and includes a set of long-term recommendations to continue progress into the future.
