Housing Affordability & RHNA — Racing Against the Clock

active• campbell

Campbell has a state-mandated obligation to plan for 3,870 new homes by 2031, with 1,542 designated as affordable. Progress has been slow: as of its most recent annual progress report, the city had counted only 117 homes toward its state-mandated goals. The city has identified 122 sites for housing — mostly along South Bascom Avenue, South Winchester Boulevard, and key intersections — and as of February 2026, the average Campbell home value has reached $1,937,114, underscoring the severity of the affordability crisis facing working families. With SB 79 now accelerating the timeline, the city faces the challenge of managing both top-down state pressure and bottom-up community resistance simultaneously.
