NON-PROFIT HOUSING ASSOCIATION OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA | | | | The Voice of Affordable Housing | |  | | | | | Wednesday, September 19 NEW REPORT OUT: SANTA CRUZ COUNTY A new report released by the California Housing Partnership Corporation and the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California (NPH) demonstrates that Santa Cruz County’s affordable housing needs have grown significantly. “The report shows the critical needs Santa Cruz County faces. Fortunately there are ready solutions available to voters this November,” said Amie Fishman, NPH Executive Director. “It’s important that Santa Cruz County voters take action to support our most vulnerable community members, as well as local workers including teachers, healthcare workers, service workers and farmworkers.” “We did not expect to find that Santa Cruz County now has one of the highest effective poverty rates in the state,” said Matt Schwartz, CEO and President of the California Housing Partnership. “On the other hand, I am heartened that the County has placed a local housing funding measure on the ballot to address the affordable housing crisis created by the state’s failure to provide adequate funding.” In addition to startling data visualization of the crisis, the report also includes state and local policy recommendations to address the reports’ findings. Specifically, the Santa Cruz County report highlights the urgency in voters approving statewide affordable housing measures Proposition 1 (Veterans and Affordable Housing Act) and Proposition 2 (No Place Like Home) as well as the local Make Santa Cruz County Affordable Measure H.
