As a 501c3 non-profit, we’re limited in the political advocacy we can take on, especially when elected officials and proposed legislation are involved. This means we rarely come out swinging in favor of any particular piece of legislation unless it makes a compelling case that it would further our mission to secure a legal environment in which California builds housing equal to its needs.

We’ve sent the following letter to the California State Legislature in support of SB50:
