California’s affordable housing crisis continues to impact hardworking families. In the latest state budget, $500 million in CalHome funding — the state’s only program supporting low-income, first-time homebuyers — was cut. This decision puts 500 planned Habitat homes and thousands more in the pipeline on hold.
Housing advocates, Habitat for Humanity leaders, and state lawmakers recently rallied at the California Capitol to urge the governor to restore this critical funding. They also highlighted a proposed $10 billion affordable housing bond that could go to voters in June 2026.
