Policy Engagement to Expand the Supply of Affordable Homes in California

The California Housing Partnership advocates at the state and federal level for affordable housing resources. The Partnership leads and coordinates regulatory and legislative housing advocacy efforts to increase funding for sustainability and housing production programs creating and preserving more low-income housing in the state, and we facilitate knowledge sharing across housing networks at the state and regional levels. Our efforts include:

  • State and federal policy recommendations
  • Legislative and regulatory advocacy
  • Action alerts and co-sponsorship of bills
  • Coalition work with advocacy partners
  • Advocacy and technical assistance for COVID-19 response
