AB 2050 Red Alert Update

AB 2050 (Lee and Carrillo) which C.A.R. and CCAR opposed, would have forced property owners to stay in the rental housing business for at least five years. AB 2050 was an outrageous attack on private property rights, effectively allowing government to seize property by dictating its use and disproportionately harming small rental property owners who are families of color.

AB 2050 is not moving forward. Thank you to all who participated in the Red Alert, it made a difference!

C.A.R. CEO John M Sebree To Lead Panel On CA’s Housing Crisis

If homeownership is to be more accessible to the average Californian by alleviating pressure on home prices, then we must advance actionable, pragmatic, and above all, innovative paths to dramatically increase housing supply.
