| | | Wednesday, June 12 Round Up: Take action on the CA budget, submit your NPH conference workshop proposals & more! |
| | 📣 Action Needed: Tell CA Leaders to Open the Door for More Affordable Housing! |
| |
|
| Budget negotiations come to a close this Saturday, June 15, when the state legislature must pass a budget. Act Now! It’s critical that we urge the Governor not to roll back our progress on affordable housing during this budget cycle. We also need to tell lawmakers to place a statewide affordable housing bond on the November ballot and approve an updated ACA 1, which will give local communities more flexibility to support affordable housing and take pressure off future state budgets. Submit a quick, pre-filled message to the Governor, your senator, and your assemblymember all at once, urging them to support these efforts! |
