Marin Voice: Governor Newsom Should Protect CalHome Funding in New Budget

The lack of support for this problem has widespread implications that go far beyond the struggles of individuals and families. Communities suffer from the transience encouraged by rental housing.

As Corte Madera Councilmember Eli Beckman said, ā€œOur town is meeting its housing mandate by locating new units near the freeway.ā€ That limits in-town traffic increases and preserves most of the small-town character. To make even these modest improvements to current state housing laws, our North Bay state legislative delegation and those in other suburban counties need to get aggressive on our behalf.
