Student housing legislation update: All HOMES-sponsored bills have crossed over from their house of origin! AB 648, AB 357, and AB 893 are headed to the Senate, and SB 685 is on to the Assembly. Thank you to authors @AsmRickZbur, Asm. Alvarez, @AsmMikeFong and @SenDaveCortese!.

This feels relevant today.
So much affordable housing development is reliant on federal funding, but California can’t depend on DC for a steady stream of funds anymore. To make campus communities affordable for low income students and faculty without federal money, we need to remove barriers to building.

Thank you for your support Lt. Governor! With leaders like you stepping up to the plate, we can end the student housing crisis.
California’s housing crisis demands bold action. Proud to support #AB893—tackling housing insecurity, rent burdens & homelessness, especially for students. Thank you @AsmMikeFong for your leadership. Glad to see it pass the Assembly & now on to the Senate!.

The next generation of California Democrats knows how hard young people are being squeezed by the current legal and regulatory regime. Students are the future of the state and the party. It’s time our leaders listen when we say we want more housing!.

Trump wants California's higher ed system to fail. For the sake of our state, it has to succeed. That means making sure that students from any economic background can afford to attend college—which means building more student housing.

If we wait for a better budget situation to address the student housing crisis, we'll be waiting for a long, long time, longer than students can afford. AB 893 from @AsmMikeFong provides a pathway to build affordable student housing near campuses with $0 required from the state.
The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office agrees with the Newsom administration that the state is “likely to face persistent future deficits” which are expected to range from $10 billion to $20 billion through the next four years. 📸 Fred Greaves

Land near college campuses in California is overwhelmingly zoned for single-family only development —which students can't afford. Allowing more multi-family in campus development zones will help alleviate the student housing crisis.

At the CSU and CCCs, where the vast majority of California college students study, both on and off-campus rent poses a significantly higher cost barrier than tuition. Supporting education means supporting housing!.

Our student housing study found that while on-campus housing prices are consistent across the UC, off-campus prices vary with local market conditions. Allowing more housing near campuses through reforms like AB 893 will reduce costs for students.
