We’re excited to continue building a new era of collective advocacy focused on a shared vision: a California where everyone has access to a safe and secure home.
With that goal in mind, Housing California and the California Housing Partnership are proud to jointly launch Roadmap Home during our virtual, launch event on January 15th from 12-1 pm. The Roadmap Home is a bold, transformative agenda that would create long-term funding for housing production and preservation, renter stabilization, and advance racial equity. It was developed through a truly collaborative effort, incorporating input from more than 200 partners and the lived experience and expertise of communities across the state.
About the Roadmap Home
The Roadmap Home’s comprehensive set of policies and reforms been endorsed by organizations and service providers working on building affordable housing, protecting renters, and ending homelessness in California.
The policy agenda:
• Brings together leaders from across housing, homelessness services, tenant advocacy, racial and housing justice, and other fields
• Uses research and data to show what works
• Provides immediate actions and long-term solutions via 68 promising policies and revenue-generating proposals
• Focuses on helping those who need it most and is rooted in their lived experience
Goals
This effort calls for California’s Governor and State Legislature to assume greater responsibility – long term and with more leadership and funding – to address the housing needs of all Californians.
This includes:
• Building 1 million new affordable homes
• Protecting 1 million renters from losing their housing
• Ending homelessness
• Closing racial gaps in housing and economic opportunities
How it was developed
The Roadmap Home was developed from discussions across the state on topics like homelessness, affordable housing production, tenant rights, tribal housing, repairing harms, and climate issues. Multiple committees and workgroups held meetings, summits, and review sessions to shape the policy agenda, with more than 200 partners participating. Community voices and people with lived experience also helped set priorities.
If your organization is ready, we welcome early endorsements ahead of the launch.
