Governor Gavin Newsom signed two bills on Tuesday which will modify the existing laws of the refuge and the ADU in order to stimulate the supply and to make a breach in the crisis of housing and self-abrism of the State.
One of the invoices, Bill 3057 of the Assembly, focuses on something called Junior ADUS – units created in existing houses that can measure up to 500 square feet and do not need their own bathroom.
Under the new law, Junior ADUS – as Biggest – will be exempt from the requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act which can add time and cost to projects.
The author of the bill, the Lori D. Wilson Assembly (D-Suisun City), described the exemption as “a small but important technical change which offers Californians more accessible and effective options to build affordable housing solutions”.
The second bill, the Bill of the Assembly 2835, was drawn up by the member of the Assembly Jesse Gabriel (D-enCino). This makes a set of temporary rules permanent that facilitated the homeless house in private Hotels and motels for more than 30 days.
Local governments, including Los Angeles, are increasingly turned to this strategy to get people out of the street, sometimes based on state financing.
“The homeless crisis requires immediate and innovative action, not the status quo,” Newsom said in a statement. “With these new laws, local governments have even more tools to provide accommodation. I urge them to fully use the unprecedented resources of the State to fight against homelessness. ”
