Building Housing Intelligence for California
- 1. California Office of Data and Innovation
Description
Senate Bill (SB) 423 (D-Weiner-San Francisco), Land use: streamlined housing
approvals: multifamily housing developments; Assembly Bill (AB) 2653
(D-Santiago-Los Angeles), Planning and Zoning Law: housing elements; and other
housing legislation have aimed to alleviate California’s housing production shortfall by
building more affordable housing faster. However, the legislation has also led to a
larger volume of housing data flowing to the Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD), requiring additional data processing and validation on a shorter
time frame.
Housing production data is reported to HCD by 539 jurisdictions (cities and counties) across the state.
ODI partnered with HCD to build a tool called Homestead to mine, analyze, and visualize that data so HCD
staff can have in-depth, granular knowledge on the state of housing production. The housing
development process itself can be mired in review and with each jurisdiction comes a different set of
project identifiers, local procedures, and reporting practices.
