California faces a massive housing shortage. The demand for affordable housing far outstrips the available supply, and that disparity continues to expand. Meanwhile, more than 150,000 of the state's residents are unhoused and millions more households are rent burdened. And the current COVID-19 pandemic has only served to exacerbate these issues, shining new light on both the crushing depths of the state's housing crisis and the economic realities faced by many Californians. How is the state government reacting to these concurrent challenges, and what mitigating policies can be implemented? Join us for a conversation with some of Governor Newsom's top advisors and agency heads as they discuss housing and homelessness and work to address both the COVID-19 and housing crises simultaneously. Co-presented by the Bay Area Housing Advocacy Coalition (BayHAC) and California YIMBY.
