BACKGROUND
Senate Bill (SB2), Building Homes and Jobs Act, was signed by Governor Brown as a part
of 15-bill housing package aimed at addressing California's housing shortage and high
housing costs. SB2 establishes a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase
the supply of affordable homes in California. The revenue collected will be used to
provide funding and technical assistance to all local governments in California to help
cities and counties prepare, adopt, and implement plans and process improvements that
streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production. The program will
provide grants through a noncompetitive, over-the-counter process to eligible local
governments (cities and counties). Eligible applicants, among other criteria, must have a
HCD-compliant Housing Element. Grant funds may be used to update plans including
the Housing Element and applications are due by the end of November 2019.
