Aggressive New ‘Housing-First Policy’ Proposed in California State Legislature

California Needs a Housing-First Agenda: My 2018 Housing Package

Last year, California began a pivot from a housing-last policy to a housing-first policy. After a half century of bad housing policy–policy designed to make it incredibly hard and expensive to create housing–we began the long process of righting the ship and recognizing that housing must be a top priority.

Yet, even with last year’s fantastic housing package– 15 strong pro-housing bills, including my housing streamlining bill, SB 35 – much work remains, and we must continue our momentum toward a better housing future for the residents of our state. Whether in transit-rich city centers, suburbs, or rural areas, people throughout California need better access to housing. California’s housing shortage is statewide – with far too many people struggling with housing costs – and we need statewide housing solutions.
