California YIMBY

Housing advocacy group in the United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

California YIMBY is a 501(c)4 American non-profit founded in 2017 with the purpose of lobbying for housing reform in California to spur development.[1] The organization, which has been backed by a number of Silicon Valley executives, has played a key role in helping get notable housing-related legislation passed, including California Senate Bill 79, which legalizes large apartment buildings near major transit stops,[2] and a reform of the 1970 California Environmental Quality Act, known as CEQA.[1][3]

The organization is considered a notable player in the Abundance movement[3] and is often aligned with California state senator Scott Wiener.[4]
