Fact
Since Governor Newsom took office through 2023, 471,372 housing units have been completed in the state.
- The Governor created the Housing Accountability Unit to hold local governments accountable to ensure they are meeting their housing goals.
- The accountability unit has taken over 800 accountability actions, including suing local governments to ensure affordable housing is built and goals are met.
- Increased accountability is tied to each new round of funding to address homelessness and housing availability.
- Californians can use the transparency website accountability.ca.gov to see how much funding their county received from certain major state investments and whether or not they have implemented new tools provided by the state.
