cityLAB-authored AB2295 signed into law by California Governor Gavin Newsom
On Wednesday, September 28, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed 38 housing bills into law–including UCLA cityLAB’s “Assembly Bill No. 2295: Education Workforce Housing Development,” coauthored by UCLA Architecture and Urban Design Professor Dr. Dana Cuff and her cityLAB research center. The bill was formally introduced in Sacramento by Assemblymember Richard Bloom, well known for his housing advocacy.
AB2295 streamlines the development of affordable and mixed-income housing for teachers and support staff of California’s K-12 public schools on public land, opening opportunities for up to 2.3 million units of housing statewide. As Bloom observes, the bill “provides a tool for school districts to allow housing to be built on school properties for teachers and staff while reducing the timeline to build that housing by half.”
