RECAP: California Home Builders ALLIANCE CONVENING

This week, Circulate staff spent the day with housing advocates from across the state celebrating the many housing bills signed by Governor Newsom and began planning for the 2024 legislative cycle. Circulate’s policy Counsel, Will Moore, gave an update on how continued reform to housing density legislation can expand housing production.

Circulate is an active member of the California Home Builders Alliance, a group of organizations and advocates across the state dedicated to passing pro-housing production legislation. The coalition played a critical role in passing key housing bills during the 2023 legislative cycle.

RECAP: Circulate Hosts Panel on AHSC Program at SDHF Conference

On Tuesday, October 3rd, Circulate team members convened a panel presentation and discussion for the San Diego Housing Federation’s 2023 Affordable Housing & Community Development Conference. With support from Tampatha Climons, a long-time participant in Circulate’s multimodal transportation field trips, and Kevin Rodin, the Founder and CEO of CD-RG, the panel detailed how developers can leverage the State of California’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program to fund innovative affordable housing and transportation projects, shed light on the success of past programs, and showcased the positive impacts for residents.

Circulate was able to highlight our recent collaborations with Father Joe’s Villages and Community Housing Works, both of which utilized AHSC funding to provide residents of new affordable housing communities with innovative multimodal transportation programming, such as transit field trips, walk audits, and bike rodeos.
