15 California Communities Given "Final Warning" by Newsom over Housing Law Violations
Fifteen California communities, including seven in Central California, are over two years behind on housing plans; 92% of communities remain compliant, state officials said.
- On Wednesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued 'final warnings' to 15 cities and counties for breaking state housing law, citing their failure to adopt certified 'housing element' plans.
- While 92% of California communities have achieved compliance, the cited jurisdictions lag more than two years behind schedule on mandatory housing planning requirements.
- The flagged jurisdictions have 30 days to respond to violation notices; failure to comply could trigger legal proceedings initiated by Attorney General Rob Bonta's office.
- Responding to the notice, Kings County Assistant Executive Officer Matthew Boyett explained the county is finalizing its revised housing plan for submission by week's end.
- Governor Newsom stated that 'no community gets a pass' on housing access or homelessness, as California continues grappling with persistent home shortages and soaring rents.
