California Community College Housing Act will become law Jan. 1, 2024
– A bill by Assemblymember Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay) to tackle student homelessness and meet housing demand was signed by Governor Newsom earlier this month. Assembly Bill 358 – known as the California Community College Housing Act – is the first of Assemblymember Addis’ authored bills to be signed into law.
“I am thrilled that Governor Newsom has signed the California Community College Housing Act,” said Addis, “Housing insecurity is a worsening and pervasive problem across our campuses. This bill will help boost the housing supply at our community colleges, providing much-needed housing to thousands of students across the state.”
Assembly Bill 358 allows community colleges to accommodate student housing needs by exempting architectural plans from the required approval by the Department of General Services’ (DGS) Division of State Architect (DSA), creating parity with faculty campus housing.
This bill will become law on Jan. 1, 2024.
