SACRAMENTO (June 6) – The California Homeownership Coalition — which includes the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.), California Building Industry Association (CBIA), Habitat for Humanity and other leading statewide advocacy groups — lauded the Joint Legislative Budget Proposal, which proposes to make a substantial investment in new affordable home construction, down payment assistance and increased access to homeownership opportunities for all Californians. The Coalition pledged to work with the Legislature and Gov. Gavin Newsom to make sure these investments including ownership supply, are part of the final State Budget agreement.
