LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law creates various programs for the creation of housing. Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Conservation to establish the Housing for a Healthy California Program, which, among other things, provides grants and operating assistance to counties to create supportive housing opportunities, as specified. As one condition of receiving a grant, a county must agree to collect and report data to the department.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would create a rental registry that would serve as a repository for data collected by cities and counties about their stock of housing and other data on evictions, displacements, and other tenancy information.
