California Legislature Considers Dozens of Housing Bills

The California Legislature is considering dozens of housing-related bills this year, including proposals to counter pending federal HUD work limits (AB 2128), ban AI-altered rental images (AB 2025), expand portable "balcony" solar (SB 868), establish emergency mortgage forbearance (AB 1842), widen homelessness grants (AB 1708), and streamline coastal multifamily permits. These follow 2025 wildfires that reshaped rebuilding and environmental rules.
