The Housing Accountability Act (HAA) is a California state law designed to promote infill development by speeding housing approvals. The Act was passed in 1982 in recognition that "the lack of housing, including emergency shelter, is a critical statewide problem," and has also been referred to as "the anti-NIMBY law."[1][2] It empowers the State of California to limit the ability of local government to restrict the development of new housing.[3] The Act was strengthened by its amendment in 2017.
