Let's Get Loud for Affordable Housing—Your Voice Matters in Sacramento!

Last month, SFCLT joined HousingNow! and hundreds of housing justice advocates in Sacramento for Capitol Day, educating policymakers and taking to the streets.

Now, the state is at a pivotal moment in addressing its housing crisis. With critical decisions being made in Sacramento, it's imperative that we, as advocates for affordable housing, raise our voices to ensure that the needs of our communities are met.

What Can You Do?

Contact Your State Legislators: Reach out to your state assembly members and senators. Express your support for increased funding for affordable housing initiatives, including CLTs and homelessness prevention programs. Email or call your local representative directly using these templates. You can also use this Toolkit for more ways to make your voice heard.

Why Now?

The state's budget and legislative priorities are being shaped right now. Decisions made in the coming weeks will determine the level of investment in affordable housing, homelessness prevention, and community land trusts (CLTs) for years to come. Without strong advocacy, these essential programs risk underfunding or elimination.

Why It Matters

Affordable housing is more than just shelter; it's about preserving the fabric of our communities, ensuring economic diversity, and providing stability for families. Community land trusts play a crucial role in this ecosystem by maintaining long-term affordability and preventing displacement. By taking action now, we can influence policies that promote equitable housing solutions and protect the most vulnerable among us.

Join Us

The San Francisco Community Land Trust is committed to advocating for policies that support affordable housing and community ownership. We invite you to stand with us in this critical moment.

Together, let's make our voices heard in Sacramento and ensure that affordable housing remains a priority for California's future.
