“Over the past seven years, California has built a record number of affordable housing units thanks to strong partnerships at the federal, state, and local levels. I’m incredibly proud of my teams at CDLAC and CTCAC for being innovative, proactive, and flexible in meeting this moment.
I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the California Council for Affordable Housing. Together, we’ve made incredible progress—funding nearly 29,000 affordable homes this year alone. I look forward to continuing our partnership and ensuring that every Californian has access to safe, affordable housing.”
