Affordable Housing Development

State Affordable Housing Program

---

Redevelopment Opportunities:

In 2022, the Legislature codified Governor Newsom’s Executive Order on excess state property (EO N-6-19), which directed the Department of General Services (DGS) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to identify and prioritize excess state-owned property for affordable housing development.

DGS and HCD developed a screening tool that applied land feasibility and financing competitiveness factors to determine whether a given site was suitable for redevelopment as housing. In July 2024, DGS and HCD updated the digitized inventory of excess state property with sites that met the objective criteria.

---

New Expedited Process for Housing Redevelopment:

To expedite affordable housing production on these sites, DGS and HCD established a standardized process by which developers can submit proposals for these excess sites. This process eliminates the need for site-specific solicitations (unless warranted by unique property conditions), and creates a published, transparent process for the evaluation of development proposals.

For details about this new expedited process, submission guidelines, and required documents please visit the HCD web page: Public Lands for Affordable Housing Development. For additional information or questions please go to the Frequently Asked Questions for the Excess Sites Program page.

Developer Interest Portal:

Developers interested in proposing for a state-excess site should review the digitized inventory of sites below and submit the required proposal documentation in the Developer Interest Portal.

The Developer Interest Portal can be accessed directly through the digitized inventory on the map viewer below, or at this link: Developer Interest Submission Portal
