Advocate for Affordable Housing
A successful California makes room for all of us to live here
Most people understand that housing in California is a problem. Many acknowledge the need for bold solutions that address all income levels, especially those at lower incomes. It’s easy to see the problem. But it’s risky and difficult to work tirelessly to solve that problem.

Join us and make living in a safe, high-quality home a reality for more Californians!
