California League of Cities Thanks CES for Its Work to Defeat SB 827 (Wiener)

Larry,

Thank you and the Coalition for Economic Survival for your leadership and strong engagement in the effort to stop SB 827 this session.

By working together and with other organizations, we were able to ensure that the constituents we serve and the members of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee understood the flaws in this legislation and why it would not have spurred more affordable housing construction.

We all agree that California desperately needs the construction of more affordable housing, near transit that serves our very low-, low- and moderate-income families. With SB 827 tabled for the year, let’s continue our work together to develop policy solutions that will address California’s affordable housing crisis. I look forward to our continued partnership.

Carolyn Coleman

Executive Director, League of California Cities
