Homelessness

Home » Policy Issues » Homelessness

Housing California educates lawmakers and others who have the power to stabilize the housing market; create more housing opportunities; and implement proven solutions that reduce the number of homeless men, women, and children in our communities. We help legislators and their staff members understand the impacts of various proposed legislation and how these bills will impact Californians on fixed incomes and modest budgets.
