Address Homelessness & Housing Affordability
Summary
If this epidemic has shown us anything, it’s that despite a strong economy many families are only one paycheck away from losing their homes. California is the fifth largest economy in the world, but our state’s homelessness crisis has reached unprecedented levels.
As our next Assemblymember, Robert will fight to expand affordable housing by reducing the rising costs of rent, creating high paying jobs, and making home ownership more affordable. Robert will also fight to ensure that we are combatting our homelessness crisis by providing wraparound mental health services and creating the renter and mortgage relief trust fund to assist struggling homeowners and renters.
