Through our California Affordable Housing Law Project (CAHLP), we coordinate an ongoing statewide legal strategy to enforce California’s “fair share” housing element law, state and federal relocation assistance laws, and state redevelopment law. The resulting judgments and settlements have compelled counties and cities to zone for, initiate and finance the development of affordable housing throughout the state for California’s poorest households.
