Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires cities and counties to allow permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, indoor emergency housing, and indoor emergency shelters in areas where residential units or hotels are already permitted. It aims to streamline the process for building these types of housing by preventing local governments from imposing stricter rules than those for other residential developments. The bill also outlines specific requirements for emergency shelters and housing, including written certifications from sponsors regarding operational policies and community notification.
