Our goal is for ALL Californians to have access to healthy, sustainable and affordable housing in neighborhoods of their choosing. We advocate for strong, clear, and enforceable anti-displacement protections, and work to:

Protect tenants from eviction and landlord abuse, and ensure access to housing by:

• Working to ensure fair rents, requiring good cause for eviction, increasing procedural protections for tenants facing eviction, and eliminating incentives for investor speculation
• Combating discrimination in housing
• Creating ways for unhoused individuals to access the support and resources they need to obtain and maintain housing
• Working to end unfair policies that lead to the criminalization of unhoused individuals

Preserve the existing housing stock by:

• Preventing older subsidized units from being converted to market-rate units
• Calling for state subsidies to allow affordable housing operators to reduce rents while maintaining high quality housing
• Strengthening laws that ensure rental units and neighborhoods are healthy and habitable

Promote equitable planning and development by:

• Eliminating local discretion to deny affordable housing projects
• Leveraging private development to promote the creation of units for very low and extremely low-income individuals and families
• Securing funding for deeply affordable housing
• Creating more opportunities for community ownership and control of land and housing; ensuring public land is used for public good, and
• Dismantling structural racism in land use and planning.
