Breaking Down Senate Bill 330 (SB 330)

Senate Bill 330 (SB 330), known as the “Housing Crisis Act of 2019,” was signed into law in October 2019 with the goal of expediting residential construction in California. It will remain in effect until January 1, 2025, unless extended. Under the law, housing development projects are subject to only those ordinances, policies, and standards in effect when they submit their preliminary application. “Housing development” is defined to include residential projects, mixed-use projects with two-thirds of the square footage dedicated to residential units, and transitional or supportive housing projects.
