How Can We Push California’s Capacity To Reduce Project Delays and Produce More Affordable Housing?
With California facing a deficit of 973,000 affordable rental homes, there's an urgent need to streamline the pre-development & development process through data-driven decision making. This panel explores how technology and policy can help state and local governments partner with developers to accelerate the pipeline of affordable housing projects. The panel will discuss areas for improvement both at a state and local level, identifying opportunities for policy and funding alignment. Key focus areas include:
-Creating methods to identify optimal site characteristics, integrating multiple data sources for comprehensive site feasibility assessment, and establishing standardized metrics for site evaluation.
-We'll explore how to implement these improvements during the pre-development phase, enhance information sharing to speed up processes, and develop better systems for mapping and sharing existing resources across state and local agencies.
-The goal is to create standardized tools and strengthen collaboration between stakeholders to accelerate affordable housing development.
