Sacramento, CA— Support continues to surge for the Building an Affordable California Act (Affordable CA), with more than 100 organizations from across California now backing the statewide ballot measure to lower costs by cutting red tape and building essential housing and infrastructure faster.
The rapidly growing coalition reflects a broad and increasingly diverse cross-section of Californians— including civil rights leaders, healthcare providers, affordable housing advocates, clean energy leaders, water suppliers, agricultural leaders, and small business organizations united behind a common goal: making California more affordable and delivering the essential projects communities need.
“California’s affordability crisis hits historically underserved neighborhoods hardest, driving up housing costs, delaying investment, and putting essential services further out of reach,” said Rick Callender, President of the NAACP California/Hawaii State Conference. “Affordable CA will help break down barriers that keep communities waiting and deliver the infrastructure that our state needs faster and more affordably.”
