Today, I’m proud to share that Speaker Robert Rivas has appointed me to co-chair the newly created Select Committee on Housing Finance and Affordability. Housing costs are squeezing California families harder than ever, and I’m committed to finding bold, practical solutions that will make a real difference.
We can’t afford to leave any housing solutions on the sidelines. California built 115,000 new homes in 2023 — but only 20,000 were affordable. To meet our statewide goals and give future generations a real chance at the California Dream, we need to build around 380,000 homes per year. That means we must reform outdated programs, remove barriers to production, and rethink how we finance affordable housing in today’s high-cost, high-interest-rate environment.
Our committee will be laser-focused on high-impact strategies that work for working families. This effort is part of a broader, coordinated push by Speaker Rivas and the Assembly to tackle the key drivers of California’s cost-of-living crisis, alongside new initiatives to expand child care access, strengthen food assistance, and ensure a more affordable future for all.
Building a California where families can thrive is my top priority. I’m ready to get to work — and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
