California SB967 amends the Government Code to address housing needs for acutely low income households.

California SB967 amends the Government Code to provide guidance on allocating regional housing needs for acutely low and extremely low income households. The Department of Housing and Community Development must publish advisory guidance by December 31, 2026, for councils of governments or subregions to develop a methodology for allocating housing needs. The bill also allows interim housing units to count towards a city or county's share of regional housing needs for acutely low income households, up to 50 percent, provided the city or county met its emergency shelter capacity.
