The California Housing Partnership is proud to announce that Gov. Gavin Newsom signed two of our sponsored bills, AB 1053 and AB 2926, today in San Francisco. AB 1053 authorizes California Department of Housing & Community Development to make certain types of state funding available to housing providers during the construction period, thereby saving millions of dollars in interest charges. AB 2926 strengthens the State Preservation Notice Law and should dramatically reduce the loss of affordable rental homes in California. The Partnership thanks Assemblymembers Jesse Gabriel & Ash Kalra for their leadership in authoring these bills, the members of the Legislature who voted to approve them, our partners who helped advocate for them and the Governor for signing them.

Congratulations Michelle Espinosa Coulter and kudos to Southern California Association of NonProfit Housing (SCANPH) for honoring Michelle's hard work and advocacy on behalf of Angelenos as the Chair of the Measure ULA Citizens Oversight Committee! ??
