San Leandro Awarded State of California Prohousing Designation Approximately 10% of California communities have received this special distinction SAN LEANDRO, CA – The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) announced that the City of San Leandro (City) has been awarded the coveted Prohousing Designation, a distinction given to jurisdictions that have made a demonstrated commitment to dismantling barriers to housing development at all income levels. San Leandro is one of only fifty California communities that have received this distinction. San Leandro earned 64 points in its Prohousing Designation application based on the strength of the City’s housing policies and programs, more than doubling HCD’s minimum scoring criteria of 30 points. Based on HCD data, San Leandro’s 64 points is tied with the City of Sacramento as the fourth-highest-scoring jurisdiction in the state. In the official award letter, HCD praised the City for its commitment and diligence in combatting the state’s housing crisis. HCD also highlighted several particularly impactful strategies, including allowing greater densities, floor area ratios and building heights for infill housing near transit, and streamlining approval of housing development projects through a ministerial review process without public hearings. “We are honored that the State of California recognizes the City’s hard work and its commitment to housing production. We look forward to the benefits that will come from this designation,” said San Leandro Mayor Juan González. By earning the Prohousing Designation, the City receives priority access to Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP) grants and additional points in the scoring of competitive housing, community development, and infrastructure funding programs administered by HCD.
