Housing
Sasha Renée Pérez knows how challenging it is to pay for rent or purchase a home in California. She was part of a citywide campaign to pass an “Inclusionary Housing Ordinance” requiring all new developments to create 15% affordable housing units. Pérez has worked to increase affordable housing for families locally, and passed ordinances to protect vulnerable tenants from homelessness.
As State Senator, Pérez will work to expand federal, state, and county first-time homebuyer programs, and work to make federal funds go further. Beyond protecting the current number of housing units, Pérez will work to increase the number of affordable and market-rate housing units so that more Californians have the opportunity to become homeowners.
