New California reporting requirements, including AB 670, will increase Housing Element Annual Progress Report obligations. CSG Consultants helps cities and counties stay compliant, reduce staff burden, and meet state deadlines with confidence.
Recent state legislation, including AB 670, continues California’s expansion of housing accountability and annual reporting requirements. Beginning with reports due in 2027, municipalities will be required to provide more detailed documentation of housing production, demolition, replacement housing, and program implementation activities in their Housing Element Annual Progress Reports, an effort that could require coordination among Planning, Building, Housing, and other departments.
With enhanced reporting requirements on the horizon, now is the time to evaluate your agency’s reporting processes, strengthen data management practices, and prepare for greater state oversight. CSG Consultants provides the expertise, resources, and local government experience needed to ensure your Housing Element and General Plan Annual Progress Reports are accurate, compliant, and submitted on time.
CSG provides California municipalities with the planning expertise, regulatory knowledge, and responsive support needed to navigate evolving state requirements. Whether your agency needs help preparing a single annual report or ongoing support for Housing Element implementation and RHNA tracking, our team can adjust our approach to fit your needs.
