Affordable Housing Week: Legislative Breakfast

On Friday, May 15, HLC sponsored a legislative breakfast. It featured a discussion of the state budget and housing, with panelists Assembly Member Jerry Hill, Bay Area Council’s Matt Regan, and Housing California’s Julie Spezia. They agreed that California’s state budget is dysfunctional, and needs solutions such as ACA 4, which Assemblymember Hill co-authored; a state constitutional convention, as advocated by Bay Area Council; and a new look at revenue sources not only for housing, such as would be provided by SB500, authored by Sen. Darrell Steinberg, but also for other critical issues as well.
