Protect Our Homes and Communities

Insurance companies are leaving California rapidly, leaving many residents needing help to afford or obtain home insurance as rates increase. This crisis directly impacts our building industry and makes homeownership more difficult for families statewide, making homeownership unattainable.

TAKE ACTION

As members of BIASC, your voices matter and can make a difference in resolving this crisis. Here’s how you can help.

Please click the link below to urge your local elected officials to support passing an emergency resolution. We need the Insurance Commissioner, the Governor, and the State Legislature to declare a state of emergency and pass immediate regulatory and legislative measures to reform these policies.

Proposed DIF Increase in Rancho Cucamonga

BIASC has been notified of a proposed transportation DIF in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, which has skyrocketed from the current $12,708 per single family unit to a proposed DIF study calculation of $35,470 based on a standard size 2,500 SFR unit, based on their updating the projects, growth projections and costing methodology. (CLICK HERE for the Study - See summary table on page 24.) This new proposal transportation DIF proposal is double the $17,358 proposed last year, which was delayed after the BIA’s initial inquiries. The City is proposing implementation of these new DIFs in early 2025.

BIASC wants to hear from you on how this increase could potentially impact your current or future projects. Our advocacy team will engage but we want to better understand the impacts on our members. Please reach out to Ana Gromis at agromis@biasc.org to discuss further. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.
