Friend, we’re urging no more delays to housing

Hi Friend,

We’re concerned. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment process might be in trouble, as there are proposed changes to the Southern California Association of Governments’ Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), which was already delayed in May. These delays in turn mean that jurisdictions across Southern California are able to delay the finalization of their RHNA targets.

On September 3rd, SCAG’s Regional Council will vote on the latest version of Connect SoCal.

We’re asking the Regional Council to vote to approve the latest SCAG-recommended version of Connect SoCal for the purposes of the SCS, and to instruct SCAG staff to begin the RHNA appeals process without delay.

These are critical steps to ensuring that we meet our housing needs now, not later. There’s no time to delay.
