Dear Friend,

I'm writing to share information about a crisis in California that is affecting us all and to let you know there IS a solution, but we need your help.

California’s housing market is broken.
To put it in perspective, our housing market is the equivalent of a grocery store that sells only fillet mignon and caviar or an auto dealer that sells only Mercedes Benz and Cadillacs. Our needs are too varied for such limited (and expensive) options. The lack of variety and choice in homes leaves most Californians struggling to find a place to live that they can afford.

The lack of affordable homes in California is hurting us ALL.
Every day that we allow California’s housing market to remain broken, we lose. We lose employers who can’t retain good employees. We lose young families just starting out to other, more-affordable states. We lose new college graduates. We lose former foster youths to the streets and we lose productive, low-wage earners and their families to the growing number of California’s homeless. It’s a simple case of supply and demand. We see the demand for a greater variety of homes affordable at all income levels. What we need is the SUPPLY.

Housing California is the leading statewide advocate for affordable homes in California. They believe the solution to California’s broken housing market is increasing the supply and variety of decent, safe, and affordable homes that meet the different needs of Californians. Preventing homelessness and helping families find good places to live has been their mission since 1979.

Learn more about this widespread crisis and how it's affecting all of us.
