The 2025-2026 legislative session is in full swing. In the face of rising rents, scarce resources, and increasing hostility from the federal government toward our priorities and the people we work with, our collective work is more important than ever. All Home’s 2025 Advocacy Priorities are intended to drive urgent, targeted impacts to address homelessness, the housing shortage, and unaffordability for Californians with extremely low incomes. We hope you’ll join us in taking action on the following issues:
AB 699 (Stefani) Voter Transparency Act – co-sponsored by All Home
- AB 699 allows local jurisdictions to include more information about bonds and tiered tax measures in the voter information guide, including what the public revenue will fund. Current law restricts the types and amount of information that can be provided about a local revenue ballot measure. As a result, voters get confused and often vote “No” as a result.This bill will allow a jurisdiction placing such a measure on the ballot to include the words “See voter guide for measure information statement” in the ballot label.

AB 736/SB 417 (Wicks/Cabaldon) Housing Bond
- AB 736 and SB 417 are two nearly identical bills that would place a $10 billion bond measure on the statewide June 2026 ballot. Funding from the bond would support a range of California’s state housing programs, including the construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable housing and permanent supportive housing.

AB 804 (Wicks) Medi-Cal Benefit
- AB 804 would require the Department of Healthcare Services to seek federal approval to make housing support services, including housing navigation and move-in assistance, a permanent Medi-Cal benefit. A Medi-Cal benefit would dramatically scale these services to vulnerable Californians, including people experiencing homelessness, to ensure they can access housing and stay stably housed.

AB 1157 (Kalra) Affordable Rent Act
- AB 1157 would update the state’s Tenant Protection Act of 2019 in three key ways: lowering the rent increase cap to 2% plus the current rate of inflation, extending tenant protections to single-family homes, and making these safeguards permanent. This bill is intended to provide urgent relief to renters, many of whom are facing significant rent increases amid continued wage stagnation since 2019, and are at risk of being pushed into homelessness.

AB 57 (McKinnor) CA Dream for All Program
- AB 57 would address the wealth gap by improving access to homeownership for descendants of individuals affected by historic and systemic discrimination. By reserving a portion of home purchase assistance funds, this bill would help redress the racist policies that have excluded many Californians from owning a home and building generational wealth.

2025-26 Budget: HHAP + Housing Funding
- The Governor’s 2025-26 budget proposal has a stark lack of funding for critical homelessness and affordable housing programs, which have been proven to work and should be scaled up. Particularly, there is a lack of funding for the HHAP program, which is supporting homelessness response initiatives across the region that have no other funding sources.

2025-26 Budget: California Housing + Homelessness Agency proposal
- The Governor has proposed reorganizing the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing (BCSH) agency into two agencies: the California Housing and Homelessness Agency (CHHA) and the California Consumer Protection Agency. We need a more efficient and productive housing finance system in California—the Administration’s effort to create one is worth supporting.
