(March 2012) TAKE ACTION FOR SB 1220: PERMANENT FUNDING SOURCE FOR AFFORDABLE HOMES IN CALIFORNIA - VISIT THIS LINK
The HOMes Act (SB 1220) will support the development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable homes for Californians on fixed incomes and modest budgets, including emergency shelters, transitional and permanent rental housing, foreclosure mitigation, and homeownership opportunities. Funded through a $75 document recording fee on real-estate transactions, the bill would generate an average of $700 million per year for housing affordable to hardworking families, put construction workers back on the job, and boost California's economy by creating millions of dollars in new economic activity.

Take Action on on redevelopment and help protect housing funds now!
From what we can tell based on the press conference this week, the governor’s budget assumes the Low and Moderate RDA Housing Funds (L&M) will be swept to local taxing entities. We’re working on a back-up plan with the State Assembly to preserve at least the amount needed for development in 2012-13 and, hopefully, 2013-14. To determine these figures, we need additional information from any organizations with threatened projects.
