We cannot afford to go back to the way things were a week ago, with families huddled in encampments in nearly every county, and millions more who are just one medical bill away from losing their apartment. So let’s not wait for the next crisis to make sure every Californian has a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. AB 1905 takes a big step to achieve that. This is the perfect time to raise our voices and declare that the actions our leaders take now can and should be year-round solutions. This action only takes a few minutes!

Thanks for taking action, Christopher Martin Legislative Advocate Housing California Sample letter: To whom it may concern, I strongly support Assembly Member Chiu’s AB 1905, which could generate up to $500 million annually and would create an innovative state-local partnership to drive the production of affordable homes in California. Please support this measure when it comes to a vote. It took decades to create our housing shortage and will take years of reliable funding and sustained building to end it. This is particularly true for filling the gap in homes available to Californians living on modest budgets and those experiencing homelessness. While the state spends more than $6 billion annually to help primarily middle- and upper-income people buy larger homes, state housing assistance for lower-income households is severely constrained. But we know it’s crucial to preventing homelessness and giving every Californian a stable foundation for success. We cannot afford to go back to the way things were a week ago, with families huddled in encampments in nearly every county, and millions more who are just one medical bill away from losing their home. AB 1905 takes a big step to achieve that. This pandemic has shown just how dire our housing and homelessness issues are. We need to take action to make sure every Californian has a safe, affordable place to call home. I urge you to support AB 1905. Insert Name or Organization |
