HCD sent a letter Monday advising the city that adopting an ordinance to prohibit “Builder’s Remedy” applications—circumventing state law designed to ensure affordable housing gets built—would violate the Housing Accountability Act. 2/

Hot weather means a higher demand for energy. When a Flex Alert is issued, there are things you can do to reduce your energy use while still staying comfortable at home. Conserve energy. Stay safe!

"We are glad to see Coronado commit to bringing their housing element into compliance with law. HCD will continue to work with the City, and monitor them, to ensure compliance and hold them to the commitments they have made in this settlement.” - HCD Director Gustavo Velasquez

California has reached a settlement with Coronado after they violated state law by refusing to plan for new housing. No city is above the law. We will continue working with communities to build more housing, faster in order to support Californians.
