Housing

Undergraduate Housing Report 2024-25

Introduction & Objectives

In recent California political discourse, housing and perceived housing issues have taken center stage. California has the highest median rent (Time Magazine) and the highest unhoused population (Cal Matters) in the United States. As such, Governor Gavin Newsome has set a lofty statewide production goal of building 2.5 million new units by the end of the decade (Cal Matters). These issues affect the state’s population as a whole, and disproportionately affect areas with compounding social disadvantage.
