Effective July 1, 2026, the California Housing and Homelessness Agency (CHHA) was established to unite the state’s housing, homelessness, financing, and civil rights work under one coordinated structure. Built to strengthen accountability, accelerate housing development, enforce California’s housing and homelessness laws, and safeguard civil rights, CHHA brings together key departments to deliver clearer policy, stronger partnerships, and more effective outcomes for communities across the state.
