During 2014, the Organization sponsored and successfully advocated for legislation that increased resources to create more affordable homes in California. Housing California also successfully worked to pass a bill removing one of the most common barriers experienced by homeless individuals who need help stabilizing their lives. The bill waived fees to acquire birth certificates and identification (a necessity for individuals needing access to essential life-saving services) for people experiencing homelessness.Housing California strengthens its work in the state capitol through innovative partnerships with both housing and non-housing organizations, including: Residents United Network (RUN) - A statewide network of affordable-home resident and community leaders, affordable-home developers and advocates.Sustainable Communities for All (SC4A) - A coalition working to provide transportation and housing choices that allow all Californians to drive less and reduce household costs, especially for low-income households. Transportation Housing Environment (T+H+E) Network - A network of leaders from a variety of sectors who engage in high-level, creative thinking to change policy and program-delivery systems with the goal of reducing the cost of living for Californians of modest means and connecting them to more opportunities. 202396 202396 CommunicationIn an effort to be a more effective advocacy group, Housing California continues to invest in research based communication, partnering with organizations such as the Center for Community Change, National Housing Conference and Neighborhood Partnerships.
