Special note from Londre Holmes, NPH's Digital Communications Specialist

Hello there! As Alina mentioned in our last Round Up, I will now officially be at the helm of our bi-weekly newsletter! I'm excited to continue sharing the affordable housing news and upcoming events that you’ve become accustomed to in our Round Up. I’m hoping to not only share news and updates, but also grow support for and within our industry by offering places to advocate for affordable housing and share opportunities to engage with our growing movement. If you ever have any questions about the Round Up or would like your organization’s upcoming event(s) included, please don’t hesitate to reach out at [email protected]!

Wednesday, March 31 Round Up: Support grows for the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority, new updates to our legislative priorities, Leadership Awards honorees announced, & more!

 

Support Grows for the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority

 
BAHA logo

We currently have over 20 organizations signed on in support of the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority (BAHFA), and with your support we can grow that number even more.

A seed investment of $18.5 million is needed to launch five pilot programs for BAHFA, which will also work to sustain the momentum of grassroots support and philanthropic interest in BAHFA. The Bay Area Housing for All (BAHA) coalition supports the request by MTC and ABAG for $18.5 million in this year’s 2021-22 State Budget. You can still add your support to the letter.

 

Legislative Updates

NPH's 2021 legislative priorities seek to move timely and urgent policies, while advancing big picture, long-term strategy that will make meaningful change for all of our neighbors. Recent updates to our priority package include:

  • AB 71, which would create $2.4 billion annual allocation for housing and homelessness, is slated for a committee hearing on April 12th to review new amendments. We encourage folks to endorse this bill here.
  • The Roadmap Home, led by California Housing Partnership and Housing California, officially launched last week and included a package of bills which encompass many of NPH's legislative priorities. We're looking forward to continuing to work with our statewide partners to advance these solutions.
