Support AB 653 Today

Assembly Bill 653, Housing Voucher Utilization Program, creates a program that would provide resources to increase voucher utilizations, including housing navigation, landlord incentives, and security deposits. The program is modeled after other successful programs and will help more Californians access and use tens of thousands of unused federal housing choice vouchers.

Would you take a moment to urge legislators to invest in this program so struggling Californians can access stable housing?

Support SB 225 Today

Senate Bill 225 (Caballero) is a game-changing solution that would create the Community Anti-Displacement and Preservation Program (CAPP) which would finance the acquisition of currently unsubsidized rental housing and preserve it as affordable, while stabilizing current residents. It’s a proven model to prevent displacement and homelessness and grow the supply of affordable housing but its use is currently limited.

Can we count on you to take urgent action to support anti-displacement and preservation?
