Beginning with the April 1, 2027 annual report, planning agencies must report additional details on housing demolitions, including total units demolished, location, income level of protected units, and any relocation assistance provided

Annual reports must include information on replacement housing units required by law, specifying location, developing entity, and anticipated completion date for each project

Planning agencies may count converted affordable housing units toward up to 25% of their regional housing need allocation for low, very low, extremely low, or acutely low income households

Converted units must meet specific criteria to be counted: no prior affordability restrictions, a minimum 55-year recorded affordability covenant, protection against eviction of existing tenants based on income, temporary relocation housing during rehabilitation, and ongoing governmental monitoring

Housing development applications must indicate whether they are subject to replacement housing or relocation assistance obligations under local, state, or federal law
