So... a bill to give a tax break to homeowners for selling their homes to 1st-time homebuyers passed Senate Approps yesterday, while a bill to increase assistance to 1st-time homebuyers and get rid of a tax break for 2nd homes didn't even make it out of Asm Rev & Tax.🤔#caleg
Wow! What a great afternoon! Huge congrats to Jocelyn Foreman for being the 1st to use my #SB1079, which gives tenants a fair shot of buying a foreclosed home before its gobbled up by a big corporation. And thx to Northern California Land Trust for helping Jocelyn buy her home!

NEW: Released today by @MoveCAFWD “Building Racial and Economic Equity Through Home Ownership” outlines how communities of color have historically been left behind in home ownership, adding to the wealth gap in CA: https://t.co/mucVv5Jaqp
A new @MoveCAFWD brief highlights a $61.8 billion gap between home prices that Californians can afford & the typical price of a home where they live. This gap is a disproportionate $35.5 billion for Black, Latino and Native American Californians. Thread👇🏾https://t.co/3EnoftHkl6
In MA, like CA, almost all of our housing subsidy dollars support rentals which is why we are campaigning to #expandthepie and #liftlinkage so new resources can be devoted to creating homeownership opportunities for the huge numbers of renters who want to buy a home. #mapoli
AB 946 directs the state to close a tax loophole on vacation homes, and use the funds to help nearly 23,000 Californians become first-time homebuyers.
I'm proud to stand with @CAYIMBY & @the200leaders in supporting this bill!
