SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California has not effectively used surplus properties owned by the state to help alleviate the affordable housing crisis, according to an audit that recommends agencies hire more staff and accelerate the rate at which parcels are offered for development.
"The rapid creation of affordable housing is critical because more than 1.4 million low-income California renter households lack access to affordable housing," Tilden wrote in a letter Tuesday to the governor and other state leaders. Of the 92 properties the department plans to develop, it has made only 19 available, the report found. In addition, the department anticipates that it will take seven years to make the remaining parcels available,"but the addition of just one staff member could reduce that time by more than two years," Tilden wrote.
