Newsom Signs Multiple SPUR-Sponsored Bills to Build More Homes and Upgrade Existing Ones

Seven bills were signed to speed up housing construction and ease electrification of existing homes, including fee credits for redevelopment, improved housing density bonuses, and streamlined permitting for heat pump installations. Additional laws promote factory-built housing, property tax exemptions for moderate-income rentals, and financing for wildfire resilience. However, bills on condo repairs, financing, and brownfield cleanup stalled, highlighting ongoing challenges in housing development.
