Housing accountability is essential to meeting the state’s housing goals and combating our housing affordability and homelessness crisis. By supporting CalHDF, donors help expand monitoring, deepen legal enforcement, and strengthen public reporting on compliance.

Every contribution fuels the technical, detail-driven work required to keep California’s housing laws strong and to hold jurisdictions accountable statewide.

CalHDF is fighting two critical housing cases in the California Court of Appeal that could shape housing policy statewide. In Benicia, we are defending the city’s approval of two projects streamlined under SB 35 against a CEQA lawsuit, aiming to set a precedent that shields ministerial approvals from costly delays. In Santa Clara County, we are challenging a neighborhood downzoning that violated SB 330’s ban on reducing development intensity. Success in these appeals would protect affordable housing from litigation risks and ensure local governments can’t block new homes through exclusionary zoning.
