California SB21: Demolition and replacement of single-room occupancy units with affordable housing.

California SB21 amends the Government Code and Health and Safety Code to regulate the demolition and replacement of single-room occupancy units. It mandates that cities or counties cannot approve projects that require the demolition of protected units unless they replace them on a one-for-one basis with affordable rental units. These replacement units must be available to low-income households and must be located within the same jurisdiction as the original units. The bill also requires that the replacement housing plan be submitted and approved before any demolition permit is issued.
