California lawmakers vote to fast-track affordable housing as legislative session nears end
Fox News
The California Assembly approved several measures Thursday as lawmakers review nearly a thousand bills in the final two weeks of the Legislative session.
Religious institutions and nonprofit colleges in California could soon turn their parking lots and other properties into low-income housing to help combat the ongoing homeless crisis, lawmakers voted on Thursday.
The legislation would rezone land owned by nonprofit colleges and religious institutions, such as churches, mosques, and synagogues, to allow for affordable housing. They would be able to bypass most local permitting and environmental review rules that can be costly and lengthy.
