Summary

The bill would set up a California Housing Justice Fund in the state budget and require the legislature to allocate enough money each year to meet the needs identified in detailed finance plans. It directs the state housing agency to work with local governments and housing groups to develop those plans, track progress, and report results publicly. The measure was vetoed by the governor, so it did not become law.
