Proposition 27
California Solutions to Homelessness and Mental Health Support Act

Our position: Oppose

Why NPH Opposes Prop 27: NPH works towards solutions that will ensure a future where everyone has a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home, but Proposition 27 isn’t the answer. Proposition 27 is full of loopholes and deductions that will only benefit the online sports betting operators, failing to deliver on its promises to serve homelessness and mental health solutions. These profits will be taken out of state and away from our Native American tribes. We stand in solidarity with California tribal communities and all those in need of affordable housing and homeless solutions.

Santa Cruz Measure N
Santa Cruz Empty Homes Tax

Our position: Support

Why NPH Supports Measure N: Measure N is a community-driven ballot initiative to increase affordable housing options in the city of Santa Cruz. It will create a long-term funding stream to create affordable housing through a tax on homes that are empty and unused for more than 8 months of a year. NPH supports this measure for its ability to benefit Santa Cruz with both the affordable housing revenue generated by the measure and the appropriate tax incentives encouraging more housing available for local residents.
