Seventh Cycle RHNA: 5,160 units assigned to Redding
The state handed Redding a housing target of 5,160 units for 2028–2036 — more than triple the current cycle — driven by a new cost-burden adjustment and jobs-housing balance factors. The city doesn't have to build them, but must zone for them, likely raising allowed densities to 20 units per acre or more.

A resident urged the council to reform enforcement of the anti-camping ordinance, citing data that criminalizing street campers worsens harm, and invited members to a presentation on a specialized housing model tied to new state law SB 634.
