Gov. Gavin Newsom's office announced Wednesday that the state's Department of Housing and Community Development issued notices to the communities, who have 30 days to respond.
Jurisdictions that received the notices stretched across the state, from Half Moon Bay in the San Francisco Bay Area, to Montclair in Los Angeles County. Two counties in the Central Valley, Kings and Merced, also received notices.
Officials said the communities were more than two years behind schedule on their housing plans, also known as a "housing element." Under state housing law, communities are required to submit plans that demonstrate how they intend to meet regional housing needs for residents at all income levels.
Communities that do not comply with the notice may face further action and a potential lawsuit, officials said.
According to the Department of Housing and Community Development, 92% of cities and counties (480 in total) have adopted a final housing element and related zoning changes necessary to comply with state law. Another 22 communities are expected to finalize their housing plans in the next two months.
