CCAR Leaders Seeking Legislative Solutions
For CA Housing Crisis
CCAR and other State Association leadership attended legislative meetings in Sacramento last week, speaking with government representatives about important real estate issues. They continue their discussions at the National level in Washington this week.
Statewide government outreach efforts are focused on advocating for property rights and policy solutions that increase homeownership opportunities and defeat legislation that will further harm property owners and exacerbate California’s housing crisis.
HOT ISSUES:
1. NO on AB 2710 (Kalra) Rental Property: Right of First Offer
2. Ask Senators to include funding for homeownership in State budget
