NON-PROFIT HOUSING ASSOCIATION OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA | | | | The Voice of Affordable Housing | |  | | | | | Wednesday, March 6 LEGISLATORS SEEKING INPUT AND SUPPORT March is a critical month for shaping bills' pathway towards success. Committee chairs are looking to official endorsements, sponsors, and other indications of support to determine which bills should get priority attention and scheduling for the hearings that begin in April. That means our 2019 affordable housing proposals need your comments and support now! We encourage NPH members to send organizational support letters now for NPH priority bills, including: -
AB 1486 (Ting), which would strengthen our existing Surplus Land Act and create an inventory of publicly-owned sites statewide, -
SB 50 (Wiener), which would create more housing near transit, increase affordable housing opportunities in historically exclusionary communities, and provide critical tenant protections, -
AB 10 (Chiu, et. al.), which would increase the State Low Income Housing Tax Credit by $500 million per year, -
SB 9 (Beall), which would permanently remove the sunset for certificated state credits, -
And other critical bills that can make progress for our movement and industry. The NPH Action Center has early session tools to support you in sharing your support now. Check back often, as information, resources, and tools will continue to be added as we progress through the legislative session! | | | | | | NPH MARCH BROWN BAG WORKSHOP | | Join us at our March 28 Brown Bag Training, "Coordination Replication: Tips from Designing and Using a Custom Housing/Services Coordination Tool," convened and moderated by Anat Leonard-Wookey with Community Housing Partnership.
