Bring CA Home

It’s time to reverse the cycle of homelessness in California. Join the fight today.

We know that #HousingFirst works, there just isn't enough housing for everyone who needs it.

If there aren't enough life jackets on a sinking boat for everyone aboard, you wouldn't conclude life jackets don't work.

"'People are homeless because their rent is too high. And their options are too few. And they have no cushion,' said Dr. Margot Kushel, initiative director and lead investigator."

Here’s what people said would have prevented their homelessness:

• 70%: Additional $300-$500/mo.
• 82%: One-time $5000-$10,000
• 90%: Housing Choice Voucher

🏠 Housing is essential.

💡When people have a safe, stable home they can afford, it makes other challenges — like health problems, unemployment, substance use, or mental illness — more manageable.

@BringCAHome These elements are all core to success in communities reducing homelessness. #AB799 is the only proposal developed by people with lived experience, advocates, CoC and local gov staff, & business leaders. Together, we can @BringCAHome through #CABudget TBL.

P.S. Shoutout to @CSAC_Counties for joining with us earlier this week to lift up a number of our shared priorities in moving toward ongoing investment and collaborative, comprehensive accountability! https://t.co/afwMxMasQt

[California State Association of Counties® @CSAC_Counties]

#Breaking - CSAC and @BringCAHome jointly urge @GavinNewsom and #CALegislature to adopt trailer bill language w/ accountability & ongoing homelessness funding – areas of agreement from both CSAC's AT HOME Plan and #AB799 (@LuzRivas). https://t.co/o4PWf3dTZR

BCH is grateful that even in a deficit year, @CAGovernor and the #CALeg are maintaining significant budget commitments to solving homelessness. 1/

[Bring CA Home @BringCAHome]

When we think about accountability for state $, we must include: 1) getting more folks permanently housed, 2) supporting the workers who provide housing + services, and 3) reversing past and present inequities. That’s all part of #AB799 and we hope to see it in #CABudget TBL. 7/7

We're very encouraged to see the #CALeg Budget advance multi-year investments in homelessness and signal towards meaningful, collaborative accountability measures. Thanks @SenToniAtkins @NancySkinnerCA @RendonAD62 @AsmPhilTing for pushing in the right direction!

"We demand long-term accountability from our homeless service providers but fail to make the long-term financial commitment they need to budget, plan and build on their successes." https://t.co/8c04BVixL5

"If you're vulnerable in any way, you're far more likely to experience homelessness."

My #AB799 just passed off the Assembly floor 68-0!

Homelessness is the top issue that Californians want to see addressed. AB799 addresses our homelessness crisis by enacting meaningful accountability measures, setting state goals and improving transparency.

[Bring CA Home @BringCAHome]

Just like that, #AB799 passes off the Assembly Floor with a unanimous, bipartisan vote of 68-0! Thanks @AsmLuzRivas for working alongside us to push for resources at scale and meaningful, equity-driven accountability for our state and local strategies to reduce homelessness.

[Luz Rivas @LuzRivas]

The @BringCAHome coalition is the best!! #AB799
