Dear CAR Member,
Last month, I told you about Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget proposals to address housing and homelessness throughout California. Earlier this week, he shared further insight into his plan to address California’s housing crisis during his first State of the State address.
Gov. Newsom characterized the housing affordability crisis as the most overwhelming challenge the state faces and recognized that it is caused by too much demand and not enough supply. He said that California should never be a place where only the well-off can lead a good life, and if we want a California for all, we have to build housing for all.
Read more details about his address here and check out the video below for C.A.R.’s response to Gov. Newsom’s State of the State address.
Have you ever wanted to become involved in local government or be a housing advocate for your city but didn’t know where to begin? Since REALTORS® know housing issues better than anyone, why not let your voice be heard? C.A.R.’s Center for California Real Estate is pleased to present a new workshop series formulated in partnership with Pepperdine University. This half-day workshop in Southern California, free to C.A.R. members, will equip you with all the information you need to understand how local governments work and what they do with respect to land use and housing development issues. For more information and to register.
Sincerely,
Jared Martin
C.A.R. President
