Increasing the availability of housing statewide is critical to bettering the quality of life of all Californians and to ending homelessness. The Prohousing Designation Program provides financial incentives to cities and counties that increase their housing development capacity, promote equitable communities, and collaborate effectively to meet shared goals.
The Newsom Administration and California Legislature passed the Prohousing Designation Program as part of a suite of technical assistance, accountability measures, and incentives to address housing and homelessness. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) worked with multisector collaborators to create Prohousing regulations and now administers the program. Incentives for local governments are being implemented in funding programs across public state agencies and departments, including but not limited to:
• Prohousing Incentive Pilot Program (PIP) - Eligibility limited to Prohousing Designated Jurisdictions and Prohousing Applicants
• Affordable Housing & Sustainable Communities (AHSC)
• Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG)
• Transformative Climate Communities (TCC)
• Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP)
• Solutions for Congested Corridors
• Local Partnership Program
