In California, a safe, affordable home is currently a privilege reserved for those who can afford the state’s skyrocketing housing costs. Our state is home to a quarter of all unhoused people in the nation, and more than half of all unsheltered people. Due to generations of racist housing policy, these burdens of housing insecurity fall hardest on Black Californians.

Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 10 will recognize that every Californian has the fundamental human right to adequate housing. Here is what this would mean in our state:

An obligation on the part of the local and state governments to ensure that all Californians have access to adequate housing;
A commitment to ensuring equitable access to housing that is not subject to any form of discrimination; and
A recognition that the right to housing is not merely a roof over one’s head, but rather adequate housing is permanent, habitable, affordable, and close to employment, healthcare, and schools.

Tell the members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee to vote YES on ACA 10 today.

Please vote YES on ACA 10 (Haney). This crucial bill will recognize the fundamental right to adequate housing in the California Constitution. It is a necessary step to effectively address the growing housing crisis in our state.

In California, a safe, affordable home is currently a privilege reserved for those who can afford the state’s skyrocketing housing costs. Due to generations of racist housing policy, these burdens of housing insecurity overwhelmingly fall on Black Californians.

Guaranteeing the right to housing creates an important government obligation to ensure that all Californians have access to affordable and adequate housing. It requires state and local jurisdictions to take progressive steps to fully realize the right on an equitable and non-discriminatory basis. And it recognizes that adequate housing is permanent, healthy, and close to jobs, grocery stores, and schools.

Please support the right to housing by voting YES on ACA 10.

Sincerely,

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
