"Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, this week announced the launch of an outcomes review of Assembly Bill (AB) 2011, the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022, which was enacted to streamline the approval of affordable and mixed-income housing along resource-rich commercial corridors. AB 2011 was one of the most sweeping housing-production bills to be signed into law in recent years and garnered a unique coalition of supporters from labor and affordable housing providers intent on finding solutions to California's housing crisis."
"We bang our heads against the wall trying to get legislation passed, but we need to keep track of what works once it's signed, said Wicks. I'm not interested in passing bills for the sake of it I want to actually solve the problem. Every family in California deserves an affordable roof over their head and the opportunity to buy a house one day. We need to be laser-focused on implementation and the efficacy of the laws we pass."
An outcomes review of AB 2011 will evaluate implementation of the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022, which intended to streamline approval of affordable and mixed-income housing along resource-rich commercial corridors. The review will measure whether AB 2011's provisions are producing intended housing outcomes, identify implementation barriers, and recommend improvements to strengthen housing production. The review is part of a new Assembly oversight tool focused on accountability and monitoring enacted laws' real-world effects. The process will enable lawmakers to pinpoint effective practices, address obstacles, and refine policy to deliver more affordable housing across affected communities.
