(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – The state yesterday announced 11 more communities joining the so-called “Prohousing Designation,” making theme eligible for funding incentives and additional resources through state grant programs to speed production of housing.

Yuba County is included in that list of eleven new prohousing jurisdictions, bringing the state total to 22.

A community achieves the prohousing designation by, according to the governor’s statement yesterday, “taking responsibility and committing to building their fair share of housing. Instead of making excuses, these jurisdictions are rising to the challenge, making difficult choices and ensuring that Californians have access to needed housing.”
