The California Housing Consortium is a non-partisan advocate for the production and preservation of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income Californians.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

Everyone deserves a place to call home.

That's why I just signed legislation placing the Veterans and Affordable Bond Act on the November ballot.

Voters will be able to help shape the future of affordable housing, expand access, and provide resources to become homeowners.

[Senator Monique Limón @MoniqueLimonCA]

The Veterans and Housing Bond Act of 2026 was signed by the Governor and will be on the November ballot! Thank you to everyone who helped get this legislation across the finish line.🏁

[CHC @calhsng]

We did it! With @CAgovernor's signature, the state's biggest-ever #HousingBond is on its way to the ballot, giving voters the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of Californians.

Our campaign is ready to get to work.

This housing bond can make a real difference in the lives of working families, veterans and lower-income Californians struggling to find an affordable place to live.

CHC and our partners are ready to take this measure to voters in Nov!

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

Thrilled to announce an agreement with both the Assembly and Senate to put a historic $11.25B affordable housing bond before California voters this November.

This measure will accelerate affordable home construction and give more families a real shot at the California Dream.

I’m happy to report that the Housing Innovation bill package made huge progress this week—five of the six bills were presented in Assembly policy committees and passed with bipartisan support! More on each bill:

[CHC @calhsng]

Both of this year's #HousingBond bills moved out of Assembly and Senate committee hearings this week!

It's another sign of progress for the best funding option available to build the #AffordableHousing Californians need.

[CHC @calhsng]

With rising construction costs making it harder than ever to build the affordable homes Californians need, CHC applauds Asm. @BuffyWicks for leading this effort.

We're proud to sponsor several #HousingInnovation bills and look forward to advancing this full package.
👏👏👏

[Buffy Wicks @BuffyWicks]

After months of research, dozens of interviews, many tours, and two public hearings, I am so excited to announce the Housing Innovation bill package!

"California's last major infusion of public affordable housing dollars came in the form of a voter-approved bond in 2018. That well has run dry."

@CalMatters on why the #caleg needs to give voters a chance in November to support a #HousingBondNow. 👇

https://t.co/uFOZjJxycL

[CHC @calhsng]

The Assembly and Senate have both overwhelmingly approved $10 billion housing bonds, authored by @BuffyWicks and @Cabaldon4CA.

Now Californians are asking @GavinNewsom, @MoniqueLimonCA, and @CASpeakerRivas to move this proposal to the ballot.

It's time for a #HousingBondNow!

[CHC @calhsng]

Another big step for #HousingBondCA!

Today the #casenate overwhelmingly approved #SB417, Sen. @Cabaldon4CA's housing bond.

We applaud senators for standing up for #AffordableHousing. It's time to give voters the chance to do the same.

@CAgovernor @JesseGabrielCA @QuirkSilvaCA Our affordable housing coalition has shared a plan with state leaders highlighting the need for $2.8 billion in #cabudget investments this year to #KeepCAHoused.

[CHC @calhsng]

We couldn't agree more.

"The lack of resources for housing in the @CAgovernor's budget is impossible to ignore and does not reflect our prior commitments or our values," says Asm Budget Chair @JesseGabrielCA. "We can and must do better."

[CHC @calhsng]

@CAgovernor @JesseGabrielCA @QuirkSilvaCA If the state is serious about building #AffordableHousing, this year's budget is critical — providing the bridge funding needed to keep up production until voters have a chance to approve longer-term resources (via a new #HousingBond!) later this year.

[CHC @calhsng]

“Not much in the way of good housing news."

That's our ED @raywlvca's assessment of @CAgovernor's January budget, which has no new funding for #AffordableHousing.

We have work to do to ensure California communities can keep building affordable homes.
