"We all know how serious the funding situation is for affordable housing in the years ahead—and how much all of the production and preservation work CHC members have planned depends on the passage of a new housing bond."
The final stretch of the legislative session is here, and all of our work over the next several weeks is being done with two key dates in mind: The deadline for passing bills on August 31, and the election on November 3, when the state housing bond will be competing for voters’ attention with more than a dozen other ballot measures.
There are a lot of positive signs on both fronts: Proposition 1 has earned the endorsement of the leading Democratic contender for Governor, Xavier Becerra, as well as the state Democratic Party. Both are major shots in the arm for our campaign, which continues to expand the coalition we’ll need to reach California voters in the fall. We want to keep growing that list, so if your organization hasn’t signed on, click here to endorse Prop 1 today.
Before the Legislature left town for summer recess, the Governor gave affordable housing another boost when he signed this year’s final budget, which includes the $500 million we were seeking for the housing tax credit, along with $200 million for MHP. More details on CHC’s other priority bills can be found below.
We all know how serious the funding situation is for affordable housing in the years ahead—and how much all of the production and preservation work CHC members have planned depends on the passage of a new housing bond. That remains our primary focus, and we appreciate the work you’re doing to help us get this measure across the finish line.
Thank you as always for your support.
