The California Association Of Realtors (C.A.R.) commends
Governor Newsom for his actions to expedite rebuilding efforts
and provide much needed relief for communities impacted by
the devastating Los Angeles-area firestorm. The governor's new
Executive Order to cut red tape to streamline the recovery process
and to provide emergency housing is essential to helping families
and businesses rebuild their homes, lives and communities.
Permitting requirements are suspended and the Coastal
Commission has been directed to not interfere with the governor's
order and wildfire survivors will be able to rebuild their homes and
communities without unnecessary delays caused by overregulation
or procedural confusion.
This Executive Order also limits legal barriers to the provision of
short-term housing. Measures have been taken to boost temporary
housing availability, including suspending rules that limit hotel and
short-term rental operators from offering extended stays to wildfire
survivors. This will provide critical f lexibility and immediate
relief to those displaced, allowing them to focus on recovery and
rebuilding.
C.A.R. also supports the governor's efforts to protect survivors
from predatory practices and price gouging. C.A.R. is committed
to supporting solutions that prioritize the well-being of impacted
Californians.
Leading the way in California real estate for nearly 120 years,
the California Association of Realtors is one of the largest state
trade organizations in the United States with more than 200,000
members dedicated to the advancement of professionalism in real
estate. C.A.R. is headquartered in Sacramento.
