Berkeley Tenants UnionWe won! The governor signed #SB555, which codifies in state law a (real) definition of social housing and directs the state to undertake a study on financing social housing!
Alfred TwuSome housing bills I'd like to see Gavin Newsom
sign include:
#SB4 affordable housing on religious/college land
#AB309 & #SB555 mixed income housing
#SB423 faster approvals for housing
#SB567 enforcing tenant protections
#AB1033 allow cities to allow ADUs to be sold separately
In addition to #SB567 other key bills in this year's fair housing/tenant protection package include:
#AB12 cap on deposits
#AB1218 replacement for demo'd units
#AB1418 bans racist crime-free housing laws
#AB1620 allows disabled tenant to switch units, keep rent control
On the production side, in addition to SB4, SB423, and AB1033, some other important bills include
#AB835 bldg code study for point-access blocks
#AB976 continues to allow ADUs on rental property
#AB1287 incentives for moderate income housing
#AB1633 stops CEQA delays
With that said, of all the remaining 60+ bills that the Legislature has passed, all of them are going to make positive contributions to solving California's housing crisis. Let's get them all signed. π‘π‘
