$11.25 Billion Bond Measure To Boost Home Construction in California

Plain-English Summary

This measure proposes an $11.25 billion bond to fund affordable housing initiatives and support homeownership for veterans and low-income Californians. It includes $10 billion in general obligation bonds for affordable housing construction and preservation, and $1.25 billion in self-supporting revenue bonds for the CalVet Home Loan Program.

What each outcome does

IF YES PASSES

If the measure passes, the state will issue $11.25 billion in bonds to fund affordable housing projects, provide down payment assistance, and offer low-interest mortgage financing for veterans and other eligible groups. These funds aim to increase housing supply and affordability across California.

IF NO PASSES

If the measure fails, the state will not issue the proposed $11.25 billion in bonds for housing initiatives. This would mean a continuation of current funding levels for affordable housing and veteran home loan programs, potentially exacerbating California's housing shortage and affordability challenges.
