💡 AIA California congratulates the newly appointed Chair of the influential Housing and Community Development Committee: Assemblymember Chris Ward (D-San Diego). What's a key to his priorities?.... Read On. * 🌆 If you're interested in Assemblymember Ward's viewpoint on his new role, it's encapsulated in this quote, “As a representative of San Diego where the cost of living has risen dramatically to be the highest in the nation, I hear regularly from constituents the need to be stronger to increase the affordable housing supply throughout California and make the dream of owning a home a reality for working Californians once again. From needs to unlock barriers to housing production, assist local governments in meeting goals, lower the costs associated with new housing, and support renters struggling to keep up, I look forward to the impact our committee can make through our hard work ahead.” * ➡️ The Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee has jurisdiction over building standards, common interest developments, eminent domain, farm worker housing, homeless programs, housing discrimination, housing finance (including redevelopment), housing, natural disaster assistance and preparedness, land use planning, mobile homes/manufactured housing, redevelopment: housing, and rent control. * 🤝 AIA California looks forward to working with Assemblymember Ward on solutions to our state’s multidimensional housing crisis.

Let’s bring back a better version of the redevelopment laws that were effective in financing revitalization planning and implementation in underserved communities - this is under this state committee’s purvue.
