Preservation is a fast, cost-effective way to expand our supply of affordable housing, but local communities need the resources to #AcquireStabilizePreserve. @GavinNewsom @CAgovernor please #FundCAPP in the final #CalBudget & bring this critical housing strategy to scale!

[United Way Bay Area @UWBayArea]

Prioritizing the housing crisis is a MUST as we discuss the use of #CABudget Surplus. Please join us in advocating for the #CALeg to invest 500 M to #CAPP to #AcquireStabilizePreserve!!!

[Yes2TOPA @Yes2Topa]

Acquiring & preserving housing means we can protect Californians from displacement today & increase our supply of affordable housing for the future! We're calling on #CalLeg to invest $500M from the #CABudget surplus for CAPP to #AcquireStabilizePreserve housing & communities.
