Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas has appointed Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D–Oakland) to Chair the newly established Select Committee on Housing Construction Innovation, a body tasked with exploring and advancing modern, cost-efficient, climate-smart approaches to building new homes in California.
The Select Committee will hold two to three public hearings during winter 2025–2026 to evaluate:
- The potential of innovative construction techniques to reduce costs
- Opportunities to accelerate housing timelines
- Environmental and climate-aligned advantages
- Regulatory, labor, and financing considerations
- The risks, benefits, and barriers to expanding industrialized construction and related technologies at scale
Committee members will also have the opportunity to tour housing construction innovation facilities — such as modular factories, industrialized construction sites, and 3D-printing demonstration projects — to see firsthand how these approaches work in practice.
The San Fernando Valley is not represented by any member of the committee, the closest would be Asm. Juan Carrillo (D-Palmdale).
