SB 457: Housing element compliance: committed assistance: in-kind services: realistic capacity formula.

The bill aims to amend the government code to clarify the definition of "in-kind services" for the purpose of the housing element compliance program. The program requires cities and counties to provide committed assistance, which includes entering into a legally enforceable agreement to provide sufficient available funds or in-kind services to make affordable housing units affordable. The bill seeks to define "in-kind services" to ensure clarity and consistency in this requirement. This definition will help ensure that cities and counties can provide the necessary assistance to lower-income households to make affordable housing units available.
