City of Campbell Earns Prohousing Designation from the State of California

Campbell, CA - The City of Campbell is proud to announce that it has received the Prohousing Designation from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), recognizing the City's commitment to accelerating housing production, implementing housing-friendly policies, and supporting affordable housing opportunities for all community members.

Under this designation, Campbell will receive priority processing or additional points when applying for several competitive state funding programs, including:

• Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC)
• Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG)
• Transformative Climate Communities (TCC)
• Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP)

Only 65 jurisdictions out of 541 eligible in California have earned this designation, and Campbell ranked in the top 25% among them.

This designation can open the door to more resources for housing projects, priority in funding decisions, and infrastructure improvements that directly benefit the community. These funds can support everything from affordable housing and sustainable infrastructure to climate-friendly community enhancements.

"This recognition is a testament to Campbell's proactive leadership in addressing housing needs while planning for a sustainable future," said City Manager Brian Loventhal. "It positions us to compete more effectively for state funding that can help us expand housing opportunities and improve quality of life for our community."
