The State Housing Law Program within the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has developed emergency building standards applicable to the 2016 California Building Standards Code, specifically the 2016 California Building Code and the 2016 California Residential Code. These building standards, which were submitted to the California Building Standards Commission, are outside the normal Triennial or Intervening Code Adoption Cycles. The emergency building standards were developed in response to Chapter 786, Statutes of 2017 (Assembly Bill 932), which requires HCD to review and approve specified local jurisdiction’s emergency housing draft ordinances.
