The California Housing 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:
- Advocacy and technical assistance for COVID-19 response
- State and federal policy recommendations
- Action alerts and co-sponsorship of bills
- Coalition work with advocacy partners
COVID-19 Relief
The Partnership and other housing advocacy organizations statewide urge our Congressional delegation for bold leadership in service of the thousands of low-income Californians at risk of eviction, displacement or homelessness from the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. This includes:
- Passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, a spending bill to ensure housing benefits for millions of low-income seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, veterans and other individuals afford their homes, among other domestic emergency measures
- Rent relief measures such as those in the proposed Emergency Rental Assistance and Rental Market Stabilization Act
- Action items from our state and federal advocacy and coalition partners (link above)
