Pathways to Justice 2019

The State of California is combating a housing crisis which is disproportionately affecting our most vulnerable populations. Families throughout the state cannot afford rent. The only true solution to our housing crisis is to build more affordable housing. The Housing Element is the mechanism that all advocates and communities can use to ensure that city governments allow affordable housing to be built for its residents. This program will: introduce the audience to the tools available to promote affordable housing development in each city’s Housing Element plan; provide a roadmap to public participation in affordable housing planning; and instruct the audience on how to comment on proposed Housing Elements to ensure that a city addresses its community’s housing needs.
