Housing & Homelessness

We need to center racial equity in our housing solutions and address the historical gaps that continue to this day as a result of discriminatory housing policies.

We need to build more housing with a focus on affordable housing and support the new regional housing measure so we can leverage our city funding sources.

We need more resources to protect tenants and address their habitability concerns, so that they can live in safe and healthy environments.

People shouldn’t have to live on the street, so we need to offer safe and comfortable shelters as alternatives. We need more shelters that ensure families stay together, provide personal safety and secure storage, and offer appropriate resources for mental health and rapid rehousing. We need shelters that are specifically for families and survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.

We also should provide mental health support at all points in people's pathways to stable, permanent housing.
