California Coalition for Rural Housing’s Post

The broad coalition behind @YesOnCAProp5 is rallying for affordable housing, new infrastructure, and more power to the people. Are you with us? Learn more at YesOnProp5.org.

Prop 5 gives local voters the power to address the affordable housing and public infrastructure needs in their communities. That’s why we proudly support Yes On Prop 5. Will you join us? Learn more about this important initiative at YesOnProp5.org.

In 2022, the California governor & state leaders set a goal to build 1M new affordable homes by 2030. But only 1% of our state budget is being allocated to housing. Even worse, $1B was cut from our housing & homelessness budget this year: this is not okay. We need #OneMillionHomes now!

Can you believe that this year's RHS is just over 4 weeks away?!? Thank you to our sponsors that help make this amazing event happen!

Prop 5 gives local voters the power to address the affordable housing and public infrastructure needs in their communities. Join tomorrow, Friday, September 27 at 9:30 AM PT the Yes on Prop 5 Coalition Call to keep up on the latest and how to get involved. Registration: https://lnkd.in/g2x2Hjye

👀 ICYMI: CCRH staff—Galen Dobbins, Policy Associate and Iliana Chevez, Director of Tribal Programs—gave testimony during a recent California Strategic Growth Council meeting. Galen and Iliana spoke about the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program, recent changes to vanpooling within AHSC, and the ability of rural and Tribal communities to access AHSC. Both expressed gratitude for our continued partnership with SGC, as they continue to make the AHSC program better and more equitable. Galen discussed Vanpools, and the need for them in both rural and Tribal communities. Iliana discussed the realities of Tribal communities, and the need for AHSC guidelines to reflect those realities.
