STYLE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
OF THIS THIS BILL HI THIS BILL
SB FOURTEEN FORTY FOUR BRINGS
THE PROVEN HOUSING TRUST MODEL
TO THE THE SOUTH BAY REGION
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND
WE ALL KNOW THE CALIFORNIA
IS FACING A LOT OF CHALLENGES
ADDRESSED HOUSING IN THE TO
YOU HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD
ON THIS ISSUE ARE RISING
RENTS HOME PRICES CONTINUE TO
OUTPACE WAGE GROWTH HOUSING
AVAILABILITY ACROSS THE
STATE AT REMAINS A CHALLENGE
STRUGGLING FAMILIES EMPLOYED IN
-- IN EMPLOYMENT AT THE CENTERS
SUCH AS THE SOUTH BAY REGION
OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY ABOUT
FEWER AND FURTHER AFFORDABLE
HOUSING OPTIONS THAT IF PLACED
-- BEYOND THE SPAN OF LOCAL
TRANSIT RICH INFRASTRUCTURE
DESIGNED TO SERVE THEM AND THEN
OF COURSE WE DON'T NEED TO I
REMIND EVERYONE ABOUT THE THE
HOMELESSNESS CHALLENGES THAT
WE HAVE AROUND THE STATE'S
CERTAINLY WITH IT WITHIN THE
REGION AS WELL THIS IS MADE A
FINDING LOCAL LONG TERM HOUSING
ACCOMMODATIONS A DIFFICULT IF
NOT PA IMPOSSIBLE FOR FOR MANY
FOLKS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS WERE OR CLOSE TO
EXPERIENCING HOMES AND LIVING
OTHER CARS AT CENTER SO THESE
REALITIES ONLY BEEN EXACERBATED
THE COVETED PANDEMIC -- AND --
IN FACT INSTEAD DESPITE L.
A.
HAVING SUCCESSFULLY HOUSE MORE
PEOPLE THAN EVER TWENTY TWENTY
THE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
CHALLENGES WE HAVE A LEAD TO
IT AND THAT RISING HOMELESSNESS
INCLUDING A THREE PERCENT
INCREASE DOWN THE SOUTH BAY AND
NOW THE SOUTH DAYS TOTAL AND
HOUSE POPULATION IS NOW SIXTY
FIVE PERCENT LARGER THE SKID
ROW IN LOS ANGELES WHICH IS
A LOT OF JUST MORE SPREAD OUT
SO PEOPLE DON'T FEEL IT QUITE
AS MUCH BUT IT'S VERY REAL I
EVEN IN THE SOUTH BAY REGION
SO IN RECENT YEARS LEGISLATORS
MADE USE OF CALIFORNIANS JOINT
EXERCISE OF POWERS ACT TO ALLOW
CITIES AND REGIONS TO ESTABLISH
CULTIVATE COLLABORATIVE HOUSING
TRUST TO HELP ADDRESS REGION'S
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SHORTAGES
WITH MANY PROJECTS HEADING
TOWARDS COMPLETION THIS YEAR AT
THE SOUTH BAY CITIES THAT ARE
A PART OF THIS BILL IF THERE
AREN'T TO MEANINGFULLY ADDRESS
THE NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
THAT THEY HAVE PARTICULARLY
FOR EXTREMELY LOW VERY LOW
AND LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS IN
THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
THEY MUST HAVE MORE TOOLS I
TO PURSUE COLLABORATIVE AND
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS A LOCAL
LEADERS I MIGHT HAVE AT THEIR
AT THEIR HAS TO OFFER SO
THIS BILL ESTABLISHES A SOUTH
BAY REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST
AS A JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
AND THROUGH ITS L.
A.
COUNTY IN PARTICIPATING
CITIES WITHIN THE JURISDICTION
OF THE SOUTH BAY -- CITY'S
COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS WOULD
BE ABLE TO SECURE PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE FUNDING ALLOCATIONS
AND AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE
OF BONDS TO HELP FINANCE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS
FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS AND
-- AND THOSE ALONG WITH THOSE
FROM EXTREMELY LOW VERY LOW
AND LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS I

OF THE SOUTH BAY COUNCIL

COMMITTEE CHAIR AND ALL BUT
THE MOST OF EACH COUNCIL MEMBER
-- WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU
ALL IN ONE ABOUT THE FOURTEEN
FORTY FOUR I BURKE THIRTY SIX
LEGISLATION A FORMER REGIONAL
HELPING TRACK THAT WOULD
FACILITATE BUILDING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN OUR REGION OUR
CAR RECOGNIZING THAT WE HAVE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING GREAT THAT
HONOR HERE ON OUR CURRICULA
IT IS URGENT AND EQUALLY
CONSEQUENTIAL EIGHTEEN ALL OF
OUR CITIES ARE SOUTH BAY REGION
COLLECTIVELY HAS TWENTY ONE
THOUSAND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNITS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED
BY OUR WE KNOW OUR PATIENTS
CAN MEET AND OUR CITY HOUSING
ELEMENT PLAN FOR THAT BUT
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL
HOUSING SOLUTIONS THAT WOULD
WORK WELL IN OUR SUB REGION
BUT THAT THE UNIT ACTUALLY GET
BELT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT THE
EXTREMELY HIGH LAND COST FOR
THE MAJORITY VOEPEL SORRY IS
A SIGNIFICANT HURDLE GEORGE
TRACKING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE REGION AND
OUR CALLS ARE EXTENSIVELY AND
TRY THE REGIONAL HELPING TRUCK
MODEL THAT WAS CREATED THROUGH
LEGISLATION A FEW YEARS BACK
THAT FORMS THE PAYROLL VALLEY
REGIONAL HOUSING TRIED AND IT
WORKS FINE IT'S PROVIDED FOR
NINE -- -- SIMILAR BENEFITS
FIRSTLY I THINK POSSIBLE
ORIGINAL HAVING TRUCKS WOULD
PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL FUNDING
SOURCES TO HELP MAKE OF THE
LEAST AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS
AND ALLOW FOR DEVELOPERS AND
I THINK WHAT WE FIND MOST
COMPELLING ABOUT CREATING
ORIGINAL HELPING TRACK YOUR
LEGISLATION LIKE LAST WEEK
FOURTEEN FORTY FOUR IS THAT IT
CREATES A PERPETUAL BE ACCORDED
FUNDING AGENCIES RUN ABOUT THE
STATE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT L.
A.

IS A MOTION BY SENATOR WIENER
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT
QUESTIONS THE AUTHOR CONCERNED
SENATORS RAZA YES -- AS THE
-- AS THE ANALYSIS SHOWS OR
-- IDENTIFIES ORANGE COUNTY
HAS PUT TOGETHER -- -- THE
ORGANIZATION AND THE TRUST
THANK YOU BROUGH VALLEY HAS
DONE SO FOR A WESTERN RIVERSIDE
COUNTY HAS DONE SO AND NOW
THERE'S A PROPOSAL FOR THE
SOUTH BAY CITIES COUNCIL I
DON'T KNOW IF IT'LL PASS BUT
THERE'S A PROPOSAL FOR L.
A.
COUNTY -- -- HOUSING -- OF
THE ORGANIZATION RIGHT AND
IT'S ALL FOR ALL THE RIGHT
REASONS TO PUT A LITTLE BIT
MORE FOCUS I GUESS AT WHAT
POINT -- ESPECIALLY IF THIS
GETS APPROVED NOW YOU'VE GOT
LET'S JUST TAKE L.
A.
COUNTY WHICH IS YOU KNOW ON
WERE PART MY MY DISTRICT ISN'T
AT WHAT POINT IS IT NOW L.
A.
COUNTY WHICH INCLUDES ALL OF
THE COUNTY AND THEN YOU HAVE
SAN GABRIEL AND THEN YOU HAVE
SOUTH BAY CITIES WHICH ARE
ALSO MOST ARE IN L.
A.
COUNTY WHAT ARE WE TRIPPING
OVER EACH OTHER I MEAN HOW
DO WE NOT CREATE WHAT COULD
BE A PROBLEM RIGHT NOW WHICH
IS SO MANY THAT YOU'RE NOT
COORDINATING SO I'M I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS WE
MOVE FORWARD ON THIS IDEA WELL
I I GUESS I WOULD YOU SEE YOU
SB SIX SEVEN NINE WHICH IS --
SENATOR CONNORS BILL -- THAT
I THAT I SUPPORT -- PROVIDES
THAT THE BEAUTY IS IT IS WHAT
IT DOES IT ACTUALLY PROVIDES
FUNDING FOR HOUSING TRUST JUST
LIKE THIS AND I I YOU KNOW
I MEAN ULTIMATELY THEY COULD
WORK IN TANDEM TO PROVIDE A
SOLUTION -- I MEAN JUST ABOUT
CREATING MECHANISMS AND AVENUES
FOR MORE FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING -- SO I DON'T SEE THEM
IN CONFLICT AND I I KNOW IS
I ACTUALLY DON'T BELIEVE THE
CHAIRED AS EITHER YEAH I MEAN
I MEAN MAYBE THEY DON'T MAYBE
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST
STARTING OUT I JUST SEE THE
POTENTIAL FOR THAT AND HOW DO
YOU AVOID THAT -- BECAUSE WE
DON'T WANT A CONFLICT WE DON'T
WANT OVERLAPPING HOW DO YOU
DISTINGUISH OF ITS L.
A.
COUNTY AND THAT YOU HAVE SOUTH
BAY CITIES AND THEN YOU HAVE --
THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY HOW DO
YOU HOW DO YOU ADDRESS THAT AND
IF IT WAS JUST L.
A.
COUNTY WE WOULD HAVE AN ISSUE
BUT NOW WE HAVE SEVERAL PIECES
WHAT YEAH I I I GUESS IS A
STATE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO
WORK TOGETHER WHICH I WE KNOW
IT ASSUMING OF EVERYTHING
PASSES THIS YEAR -- THEY WOULD
WORK TOGETHER AND AND SIX SEVEN
NINE WOULD WOULD PROVIDE WOULD
ACTUALLY PROVIDE AN IMPORTANT
THE POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCE
FOR FOR BOTH I THE SAN GABRIEL
AND AND -- SOUTH BAY TRUSTS
SO I'M OBVIOUSLY IT'S GONNA
TAKE SOME COORDINATION IN
CONVERSATION AND MAYBE WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO ALL COME BACK
TOGETHER YEAH YOU KNOW NEXT
YEAR THE ACCESSION TO WORK ON
SOME SOME LANGUAGE TO HELP TO
FACILITATE BOB BUT I GUESS I
I DON'T I I WOULD GO ON THE
CHERRIES BEEN WORKING IN THIS
SPACE FOR SOMETIME WE ALSO
HAVE A HOUSING HERE HERE DO YOU
DO YOU ARE YOU IN YOUR IN YOUR
READ OF OF OF OF THIS WORLD
ARE YOU DO YOU SEE POTENTIAL
CONFLICTS ARE BETWEEN THESE
BILLS NO I I DON'T SEE A
POTENTIAL WELL I MEAN THERE'S
ALWAYS POTENTIAL CONFLICT IN
A IN A POLITICAL WORLD BUT I
THINK THESE WORK REALLY WELL
TOGETHER LET ME TELL YOU WHY
IS IT ULTIMATELY THE WHOLE
ISSUE OF WHERE YOU'RE GONNA
PUT HOUSING IS A LOCAL LAND USE
ISSUE RIGHT AND SO WHAT WHAT
THE HOUSING TRUSTS ARE GOING
TO DO IS ARE GOING TO RAISE
THE MONEY AND THEN WORK WITH
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BECAUSE
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SIT ON
THE HOUSING TRUST FUND AND --
AND AND DECIDE WHERE YOU GONNA
PUT THE HOUSING WHAT KIND OF
HOUSING ARE WE GOING TO DO
AND HOW DO WE GET THE MOST
BANG FOR OUR BUCK AND -- AND
SO THERE WILL THERE THERE IT
THERE IS ALWAYS COORDINATION
SO THAT YOU'RE NOT PUTTING ALL
OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
THE POOREST COMMUNITIES YOU
WANT IT SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT
THAT THE ENTIRE AREA SO TO THAT
EXTENT THERE'S THERE'S WORK
THAT THAT WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN
BUT THAT'S PART OF WHAT THE
HOUSING TRUST WILL TALK ABOUT
AND COORDINATE WITH THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS YEAH I DON'T
EITHER I DON'T SEE ANY CONFLICT
IN TERMS OF HAVING OVERLAPPING
JURISDICTION SO FOR EXAMPLE
THIS ISN'T EXACTLY THE SAME IN
THE BAY AREA WE HAVE SENT SAN
FRANCISCO COUNTY HAS A VERY
SIGNIFICANT HOUSING TRUST FUNDS
THAT WE PUT OUR OLD RECALL
MONEY IN OTHER MONEY AND THEN
WE ARE HOPEFULLY GOING TO GO
TO THE BALLOT -- REGIONALLY --
WITH A NEW ENTITY DOES CREATED
BY THE BILL THE -- THEN OF SOME
MEMBERS WHO -- -- AUTHORED ON
WHICH IS WHAT THE CAMARGO BILLS
BASED ON -- AND SO HOPEFULLY
PASSED THAT REGIONALLY AND SO
WE'LL HAVE THERE'S OVERLAP AND
DIFFERENT GOVERNANCE HAS BUT
ULTIMATELY IT'S ABOUT FUNDING
SPECIFIC PROJECTS AND SO YOU
KNOW PROJECT MAY BE ABLE TO
TAP INTO DIFFERENT TRUST FUNDS
IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE -- BUT
ULTIMATELY THEY HAVE TO PUT
TOGETHER THEIR THEIR PRO FORMA
-- AND AND IT'LL I THINK IT
WILL BE WELL COORDINATED THAT'S
MY BEST AS MYSELF AND FOR THE
COMMON YOUR BILL THEY'RE GONNA
TO GO TO THE VOTERS AND GET IT
RIGHT TO PASS A LOT OF THIS IS
TO SETTING UP THE GOVERNANCE
STRUCTURE IN THE HOPE THAT
IN THE FUTURE THE VOTERS SAID
YES THE MOMENT YEAH WELL I'M
I'M IS SUPPORTED BUT I AM VERY
SKEPTICAL IN THE SENSE THAT NOT
ENOUGH MAYBE THAT'S THE WRONG
WORD BUT -- I'M VERY CONCERNED
THAT WE'RE CREATING NOW A
NUMBER OF WE STRIVE TO CREATE
A NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS A
NUMBER OF ENTITIES AND YOU KNOW
THEY COULD JUST GET IN EACH
OTHER'S WAY WHEREAS WHAT WAS
WHAT WAS HAS BEEN MISSING IS A
COORDINATION ACTUALLY BETWEEN
-- A COUNTY AND A BUNCH OF
CITIES WOULD HAVE A COUNTIES
GOING TO DO SOMETHING I DON'T
SEE WHERE YOU KNOW -- I DON'T
SEE HOW ALL THESE OTHER PIECES
WILL WORK OUT ANYWAY I'M JUST
EXPRESSING MY MY CONCERNS
AND I HOPE IN THE PROCESS OF
CREATING ALL THESE ALL THESE
ENTITIES THAT IT DOESN'T --
IN THE BEAM WHERE EVERYBODY
STEPPING ALL OVER EACH OTHER
OR COMPETING WITH EACH OTHER
IN SUCH A WAY THAT SLOWS
DOWN THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO TRY TO SPEED UP
YOUR POINT TO WHAT YOU'RE
PUMP YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN
AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT THEY'LL HAVE TO
WORK TOGETHER ON IS TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY CAN RAISE THE
FUNDS AND AND THEN USED AND
THEN EXPEDITE THE DEPLOYMENT
OF THOSE FUNDS ARE IN IN
A WAY THAT GETS US HOUSING
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE ALL
WANT SOMETHING SO I'M SENATOR
ALAN I'LL ALLOW YOU TO WE HAVE
A MOTION MATT THE MOTION IS
-- TO SEND THE BILL BACK TO
THE SENATE FLOOR RECOMMENDING
CONCURRENCE WITH THE AMENDMENTS
YEP BUT THAT THANK YOU I MEAN
I I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS
AND AND IT IS CERTAINLY GIVE
ME SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ALL
GOING TO HAVE TO WORK ON AND
MONITOR AND AS TIME GOES ON
AND ON I SHOULD ALSO LET YOU
KNOW BY THE WAY THAT THE THE
REALTORS -- WE WERE ABLE TO
REACH AN AGREEMENT AND THEY'VE
DROPPED THEIR OPPOSITION AYE
AYE I KNOW I I I THINK EVERYONE
KNOWS THIS BUT I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE BECAUSE IT'S NOT
REFLECTED IN THE -- HERE THIS
ALL HAPPENED IN THE LAST DAY SO
-- I'M JUST NOT NOT REFLECTED
ANALYSIS YET BUT -- APPRECIATE
