The State of California Prohousing Designation acknowledges cities and counties that are actively working to accelerate housing supply through streamlined permitting, supportive policies, and reduced development costs.  In November 2022, the City of San Diego received this designation for the first time, and it remains valid until January 2026.

The City Planning Department is applying to renew the City’s State of California Prohousing Designation. Securing this designation will continue to make the City eligible for various state incentive programs and funding opportunities for affordable homes and infrastructure.
