Housing Infrastructure Bond Needs Your Help

The negotiations on what will and will not be included in a statewide infrastructure bond package (s) are heating up in Sacramento. It is VITAL that all legislators hear from as many of their constituents as possible about the need to include funds to extend the Proposition 46 funding.

Late this afternoon the SANDAG Board of Directors presented their priorities to Senators Ducheny and Kehoe and Assembly members Saldaña and Plescia. Housing was not included on their main priority list, however, it was listed as a Tier 2 priority.

All members STRONGLY URGED to send letters to their California legislators requesting that they include $1.4 billion in any infrastructure bond to continue the success that Proposition 46 has had in the County.

A Fact Sheet with talking points and draft letters with San Diego County specific data are available at http://housingsandiego.org/Advocacy.php in the State section.
