• Description:
  The study uses a mixed-methods research design that combines policy review, document analysis, and semi-structured interviews. I reviewed application materials submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by 56 prohousing cities to examine the prevalence of local policy tools intended to accelerate housing production. I also used city-level American Community Survey data to analyze the characteristics of designated jurisdictions. I conducted interviews with city planners, municipal housing and community development staff, transit-oriented development (TOD) managers, and real estate professionals. The interview protocol had two main components. The first examined which prohousing policies have been most effective in practice, how they work, and what barriers continue to limit housing production. The second explored local TOD policy changes following recent state laws that support housing near transit, with attention to effective policies and remaining implementation challenges.
