Submit an APR form to HCD and LCI
Online via One Door
Jurisdictions can upload an APR directly into HCD’s online portal, One Door. This data management system allows jurisdictions to submit Housing Elements, Sites Inventories and APRs on one platform. To use the online system, you must register with your email at the link above to create a new account.
If you are experiencing issues creating or logging into your jurisdiction’s account, please review One Door User Portal Guides or email HCDConnectHPD@hcd.ca.gov, for support getting login information for your jurisdiction.
Please note: using the online portal only provides information to HCD. The Housing Element APR still must be submitted to LCI through lci.apr@lci.ca.gov.
Jurisdictions can also email the APR form to APR@hcd.ca.gov and to lci.apr@lci.ca.gov. When using the email method, send the electronic version as an Excel workbook attachment. Do not send a scanned copy of the form. Sending APRs via email will count as a submittal.
Please note: Government Code section 65400 also requires the submittal of a General Plan Annual Progress Report to both LCI and HCD. These can be emailed as above.
APR Form Covering CY 2017 and prior
For APRs covering CY 2017 and prior years, please email HCD at APR@hcd.ca.gov to request the prior form and instructions.
Submit the Prior APR Form to HCD and LCI by Email
Jurisdictions can email the prior APR form to APR@hcd.ca.gov and to lci.apr@lci.ca.gov. When using the email method, send the electronic version as an Excel workbook attachment. Do not send a scanned copy of the form. Sending APRs via email will count as a submittal.

The Housing and Local Land Development Opportunity Map shows potential development sites identified in local housing elements (housing plans) adopted on or after January 1, 2021, and local surplus and excess sites as reported through the housing element annual progress reports.
