Capping a year of ambitious promises and unprecedented funding for housing, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday signed more than two dozen bills that attempt to spur new development while also holding cities’ feet to the fire if they don’t approve more homes to address California’s housing shortage.

Newsom, who has repeatedly said housing is among his top priorities, signed the 27 bills in the courtyard of Oakland’s Coliseum Connections — a 110-unit, half affordable, half market-rate apartment complex built in 2019. The new legislation follows a historic funding package that includes $10.3 billion for affordable housing and $12 billion for homelessness, and built on emergency housing programs that Newsom put in place during the pandemic.
