In response to Governor Newsom’s executive order (N-2-24), which works to accelerate and streamline building housing on unused and underutilized infill sites, the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) has released a Request for Information (RFI). The RFI seeks public input on potential processes, permits, and other administrative actions that can be adjusted to create more flexibility and lower costs of infill housing. The SGC encourages responses from a wide range of individuals, including researchers, practitioners, developers, financial institutions, community-based organizations, advocacy groups, tribes, and others with experience or expertise in infill development or adaptive reuse.

Background on SGC’s Housing, Climate, and Equity Resolution
The SGC’s Resolution on Housing, Climate, and Equity (Priority 3) creates a framework for elevating and coordinating the growing number of goals, policies, and programs designed to address the state’s entwined housing, climate, and equity crises. Leveraging the Council’s position as a public interagency body, Priority 3 aims to build awareness of (and access to) opportunities across the state, as well as to identify additional strategies to meet the state’s housing, climate, and equity goals in a coordinated manner. Promoting a combination of public engagement, technical assistance, and coordination across traditional silos of policy and planning. In turn, Priority 3 will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance community resilience while advancing equity and expanding the number of Californians that share in the state's economic and environmental wealth.
