The Bay Area Housing for All (BAHA) coalition is working to address the Bay Area’s affordable housing shortage through two important interventions: reduce the threshold required to pass local affordable housing bonds and allow for more flexibility in the uses of funds through a statewide ballot initiative, and pass a $10-20 billion nine-county Bay Area affordable housing bond to build thousands of homes and house hundreds of thousands of our neighbors.

Why It Matters California is producing only 14% of the 120,000 new affordable homes needed each year. Over 161,000 Californians are currently unhoused. A regional housing measure could produce and preserve upwards of 45,000 affordable homes. Over the lifetime of these developments, half a million low-income families will be housed.

We Need Your Help! Head over to the new BAHA website to learn more, join the coalition, and endorse the campaign!
