The RMP Regional Housing Roundtable
What Is The Goal Of This Team?
The goal of the RMP Regional Housing Roundtable is for local government staff and housing authority leadership to identify opportunities for an improved regional approach to improving access and availability of attainable housing. This group is a-political and focused on the effective implementation of enacted policy.
How Did The Roundtable Come About?
- In 2022, partners through RMP identified an opportunity to host a conversation with local government and housing authority staff leadership to scope if there were opportunities for improved coordination between efforts underway throughout the region to improve access and availability of attainable housing.
- This group begun to identify and prioritize what opportunities could potentially exist for a stronger regional approach.
- Once Proposition 123 passed in November, they prioritized gaining clarity regarding the components of Prop 123 as their initial area of focus. This was chosen as the initial area of focus largely due to the lack of clarity felt regarding what implementation of Prop 123 would need to look like.
The 90 Day Fast Track Approval Process Project
The first area of work prioritized by the Roundtable is to develop a shared definition of the “90 Day Fast-Track Approval Process” component of Proposition 123. Click the button below to learn more about this project.

The Role of Elected Officials
Elected officials play a critical role in the work happening though RMP to increase the access and availability of attainable housing. While the Roundtable has been a place for government and housing authority staff and practitioners, elected officials are convening through RMP in order to:
- Hear about the current state of housing throughout our region and hear firsthand from impacted community members and practitioners
- Learn about the work of the Housing Roundtable and their initial areas of focus (gaining clarity on components of Prop 123, including the 90 Day Fast Track Approval Process)
- Take a deeper dive and have questions answered regarding Prop 123
The next convening will take place on Wednesday, April 12th from 4-6 PM. If you, or an elected official you know is interested in attending, please click the link below to RSVP.
