AI Summary
This bill modifies the process for determining regional housing needs in California by updating the consultation requirements between the Department of Housing and Community Development and councils of governments. Specifically, the bill changes the timeline for when the department must meet and consult with councils of governments about housing need projections. For the 7th revision of housing elements, most councils of governments will now be required to meet with the department 38 months prior to the scheduled revision, instead of the previous 26 months, with a few exceptions for smaller regional councils like Humboldt County and Lake Area Planning Council. For the 8th and subsequent housing element revisions, the 38-month consultation timeline will be mandatory for all councils of governments. The bill maintains the existing detailed requirements for data sharing, including information about population projections, household growth, overcrowding rates, jobs-housing balance, and homelessness needs. The legislation aims to provide more comprehensive and collaborative planning for regional housing needs by giving councils of governments more time to provide input and data for housing element revisions.
