California SB507 encourages the Department of Housing and Community Development to count units in tribal housing developments toward regional housing.

California SB507 adds a section to the Government Code, encouraging the Department of Housing and Community Development to count units in tribal housing developments toward a locality’s regional housing needs allocation. This applies if the local government and tribe enter a voluntary agreement and certain conditions are met, such as the local government having permitting authority over the site. The bill also specifies that existing tribal housing developments already counted towards regional housing needs allocation are not affected.
