California has some of the least affordable housing in America. Too many families are priced out of homeownership, rents consume too much of every paycheck, and homelessness has grown in every community. We need more homes, lower costs, and a government that gets out of the way — so California families can afford a place to live.

1. Build More Homes:
   • Cut permitting delays and streamline approvals so homes can be built faster in communities across California.
   • Allow more homes to be built near jobs and transit, and hold cities accountable for meeting their housing goals.
   • Support local builders and developers who are ready to build, instead of drowning them in paperwork.
2. Lower the Cost of Building:
   • Reduce the fees, taxes, and mandates that add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the cost of every new home.
   • Reform the abuse of environmental review laws that blocks housing and delays projects for years.
   • Cut red tape for small builders and homeowners who want to add homes on their own property.
3. Help First-Time Buyers:
   • Expand down payment assistance so working families can buy their first home.
   • Support veterans and first responders in achieving homeownership.
   • Expand access to affordable mortgages and protect the mortgage interest deduction.
4. Bring Rents Down:
   • Increase the supply of rental homes so rents come down through competition, not through price controls that shrink supply.
   • Oppose rent control policies that discourage building and reduce the quality and availability of rental housing.
   • Protect renters from fraud and unsafe living conditions.
5. Fight Homelessness:
   • Enforce laws against encampments and ensure our streets, parks, and sidewalks are safe and clean.
   • Expand shelter, addiction treatment, and mental health services so people can move from the streets to stability.
   • Hold state and local governments accountable for spending on homelessness and demand real results.
6. Preserve Our Neighborhoods:
   • Respect local voices in planning decisions that affect their communities.
   • Protect single-family neighborhoods while allowing responsible growth where it makes sense.
   • Make sure new housing fits the character and needs of the community it joins.
7. Make Homeownership Attainable:
   • Reduce barriers to building starter homes for first-time buyers.
   • Support manufactured and modular homes as affordable options for California families.
   • Cut the cost of permits and utility hookups that make building a home unaffordable.
