SB 391 Advances Further Than Any Other CA Housing Trust Fund Bill

From Campaign Co-Chairs Shamus Roller and Ray Pearl

On behalf of SB 391's co-sponsors -- Housing California and the California Housing Consortium -- we would like to congratulate all of you on an amazing job advocating for homes and jobs for Californians. To date, the California Homes and Jobs Act (SB 391) has advanced further than any bill to fund the state housing trust fund since the trust fund was permanently established in 1988.  Given the recent suspension of three Senators who voted yes on SB 391 (and whose votes would be needed again to approve amendments made in the Assembly), SB 391 is unlikely to advance this year in its current form.  While this news is disappointing, we remain strongly positioned to build upon our successes from this year and come back to win an ongoing source of state investment in homes and jobs. Even if we are successful with some of the exciting proposals currently in the Legislature (see below), California needs a statewide, flexible source of funding like SB 391 would provide.       Video Message to SB 391 Supporters from Senator Mark DeSaulnier The author of SB 391, Senator Mark DeSaulnier, recorded this special message for all of you who dedicated time and energy to this important campaign, reinforcing that you've done a fantastic job and our work is not over.
