Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) Data by Jurisdiction and Year

Government Code section 65400 requires that each city, county, or city and county, including charter cities, prepare an annual progress report (APR) on the status of the housing element of its general plan and progress in its implementation. This dataset includes information reported to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by local jurisdictions on their APR form. Additional information about annual progress reports (APR), including the form, instructions, and definition can be found on HCD’s website here: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/annual-progress-reports.
