SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Housing is California’s biggest challenge, but would a constitutional right to a place to live make a difference for state residents?
Assemblyman Matt Haney, D-San Francisco, wants to give voters a chance to add an amendment guaranteeing housing. Haney’s measure would push state and local governments to “take progressive steps to fully realize that right,” according to a bill fact sheet.
This could involve tenant protections, rental subsidies, public housing and progressive taxes.
