## Resource

California voters are being asked to approve an $11.25 billion bond to tackle its worsening housing crisis, with $10 billion boosting existing affordable housing programs and $1.25 billion specifically for veterans’ home purchases. As soaring costs push families out of the state, supporters argue bold investment is essential—especially with a shortage of over a million affordable units. Critics question the long-term cost, noting repayment via taxpayer dollars over 35 years, and suggest regulatory reform might be more effective. Experts agree action is urgent, but warn the bond’s impact will depend on pairing it with zoning and construction reforms to unlock truly scalable solutions.
