The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Prohousing Designation Program offers recognition of a jurisdiction’s policies that support the state’s housing goals. The designation allows jurisdictions to apply for certain grant funds to increase the availability of housing and to end homelessness, and to receive priority processing or additional points for other grants, such as programs for sustainability, infrastructure, and transportation. Read more about the program at the Department of Housing and Community Development's website.
The application package includes a resolution, a completion schedule for any proposed policies included in the application, the project proposal scoring sheet, and supporting documentation. The most significant portion of the application is the scoring sheet, which evaluates policies across 4 categories:
A jurisdiction self-scores and must achieve a cumulative score of at least 30 points across the four categories to receive the Prohousing Designation. The draft application proposes a score of 49 points.
The draft application package was available for a 30-day public review between December 6, 2024 and January 6, 2025. View the draft application here.(PDF, 2MB) The City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the application and participation in the program at their regular meeting on January 13, 2025.
