WELL GOOD MORNING, HAPPY NEW
YEAR. I WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO
THE JANUARY 10TH 2024 COMMITTEE
HEARING FOR THE ASSEMBLY HOUSING
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE.
I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE THE NEW
CHAIRMAN OF THIS COMMITTEE AND
FOR OUR NEW MEMBERS AS WELL
APPRECIATE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS
THAT ARE COMING FORWARD THIS
YEAR TO THIS COMMITTEE HAVE
BROADER REMARKS. MAYBE WHEN WE
HAVE A QUORUM SO THAT WE CAN
REALLY FULLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT
MOMENT. BUT I WANTED THIS TIME
REQUESTS ALL STAFF IN THE
CAPITAL TO ENCOURAGE YOUR
MEMBERS TO COME DOWN SO THAT WE
CAN OBTAIN THAT QUORUM. AND
BEGIN OUR BUSINESS FOR THE DAY.
WE HAVE ONLY THREE ITEMS ON THE
AGENDA TODAY. ONE IS ON THE
CONSENT CALENDAR AND THEN TWO
ITEMS UP FOR A VOTE. SO WE WILL
WAIT A FEW MINUTES FOR.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS UNLESS WE HAVE
ONE OF OUR AUTHORS HERE. OUR
COLLEAGUE ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
MCKENNA. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED,
WE CAN PARTICIPATE AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE AND BRING UP YOUR
RESOLUTION. WONDERFUL THEN YOU
MAY PROCEED TO PRESENT.
GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING CHAIR
AND MEMBERS. I'M THE AMERICAN
DREAM OF HUNTERS. HOME OWNERSHIP
IS SLIPPING AWAY FROM THE
AVERAGE CITIZEN AND THE
INABILITY TO OBTAIN AND KEEP
HOUSING HAS LED TO AN INCREASE
IN EVICTIONS, AND IT'S
CONTRIBUTING TO THE INCREASE IN
OUR OWN HOUSE POPULATION. A
NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE OF HOUSING
UNITS IS FURTHER MOVING THAT
DREAM AWAY FROM MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS. A J. R NINE WOULD
URGE THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS
TO PASS AND THE PRESIDENT TO
SIGN THE HOUSING AND
HOMELESSNESS PACKAGE, WHICH
INCLUDES THREE GROUNDBREAKING
PIECES OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD
ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF
AFFORDABILITY. ACCESSIBILITY
HEAD ON HR 4 TO 33 MAXINE WATERS
, THE HOUSING CRISIS RESPONSE
ACT OF 2023 WOULD PROVIDE MORE
THAN 150 BILLION AND FAIR,
AFFORDABLE HOUSING INVESTMENTS.
WHICH WOULD BE THE LARGEST
INVESTMENTS OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN OUR IN IN THE IN OUR
NATION'S HISTORY, IT WOULD ALSO
CREATE 1.4 MILLION AFFORDABLE
HOMES AND WOULD ADDRESS THE
RACIAL WEALTH GAP THROUGH THE
FIRST EVER INVESTMENT IN HOME
HOME OWNERSHIP FOR FIRST TIME
FIRST GENERATION HOMEBUYERS. HR
233. MAXINE WATERS, THE ENDING
HOMELESSNESS ACT OF 2023. WHAT
REDUCE POVERTY IN AMERICA BY
TRANSFORMING THE HOUSING CHOICE
VOUCHER PROGRAM INTO A FEDERAL
ENTITLEMENT, ALLOWING EVERY
HOUSEHOLD THAT QUALIFIES FOR
ASSISTANCE TO RECEIVE IT. IT
WOULD ALSO BAN HOUSING
DISCRIMINATION BASED ON INCOME
AND VETERAN STATUS. HR 231
MAXINE WATERS, THE DOWN PAYMENT
TOWARDS EQUITY ACT OF 2023 WOULD
CLOSE THE US RACIAL WEALTH AND
HOME OWNERSHIP GAP BY PROVIDING
$100 BILLION IN DIRECT
ASSISTANCE TO HELP FIRST TIME
FIRST GENERATION HOMEBUYERS
PURCHASED THEIR FIRST HOME. WE
ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HOUSING
CRISIS AND KEEPING PEOPLE IN
THEIR HOMES AND OFF THE STREETS
SHOULD BE OUR TOP PRIORITY,
URGING CONGRESS AND THE
PRESIDENT TO ACT AND SIGN THE
HOUSING PACKAGE IS A CRUCIAL
STEP IN FULLY INVESTING AND
TACKLING OUR HIGHS AND CRISIS
AHEAD. STRAIGHT AHEAD. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR MCKENDRICK.
ARE THERE ANY WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT TODAY KNOW ANYBODY IN
THE ROOM WHO WISHES TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT OF A GR NINE SEEING
DONE, AND WE HAVE ANYBODY IN
OPPOSITION? AND SEEING NONE.
I'LL TURN INTO THE COMMITTEE FOR
ANY COMMENTS ON THE MEMBER LEE.
THANK YOU, SOMEONE MCKENNA FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD. WE
DEFINITELY NEED THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND HELP
WITH THE NATION'S HOUSING CRISIS
, AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE BRINGING
THIS RESOLUTION FORWARD SO THAT
WE CAN OFFICIALLY SUPPORT IT. I
WOULD LOVE TO GET CO AUTHOR IF
YOU ALLOW ME TO BE ON THERE,
EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT IN L, A
MEMBER BUT LOVE TO JOIN EFFORTS
TO HAVE MORE FEDERAL
PARTNERSHIP. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MR LEE. SEEING
NO OTHER MEMBERS WISH TO SPEAK,
MR KINER. AT THIS TIME, WE DON'T
HAVE A QUORUM. AND WHEN WE DO,
ESTABLISH A QUARTER WILL BE
HAPPY TO TAKE AN ENTERTAINING
MOTION IN THE VOTE ON THE
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS RESOLUTION
FORWARD. WE KNOW VERY WELL HERE
IN CALIFORNIA HOW MUCH WE ARE
RELYING ON OUR FEDERAL
COUNTERPARTS TO DO THEIR FAIR
SHARE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT US
IN OUR NEEDS TO ADDRESS HOUSING
AND HOMELESSNESS, CRISES AND WE
KNOW THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT
WORK THAT IS BEING DONE IN THE
CONGRESS THAT YOU'VE HIGHLIGHTED
HERE. AND SO I LOOK FORWARD TO
BEING ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS
RESOLUTION TODAY AND ON THE
FLOOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
MCKENNA. I'M SORRY. I'M OFFERING
AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE IF YOU
ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU
HAVE A GOOD DAY. AND WITH THAT,
I'M GOING TO TURN A CHAIR.
UNFORTUNATELY, VICE CHAIR IS
STILL ON HIS WAY WHO WOULD LIKE
TO GAVEL? THAT'S MR MATHIS,
RIGHT? OUR SUBSTITUTE. ITS
SUBSIDIARY. NOT ONLY
SUBSTITUTING THE VICE CHAIRING,
OKAY, MR WARD WHEN YOU'RE READY.
WELL, THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. I'M INTRODUCING A B
1635 THIS MORNING IT WOULD
MODIFY CURRENT LAW RELATING TO
THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES
PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE
HILLCREST NEIGHBORHOOD OF SAN
DIEGO TO ENSURE THAT IT BE USED
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND TO
MAXIMIZE REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
ON THE SITE. NOW WHY IS THIS
HERE? BACK IN 2007? THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED SB 754 TO
ENACT AN AUTHORIZED THE
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
WITH THE CONSENT OF THE DMV TO
LISA EXCHANGE FOR A PERIOD.
THREE PARCELS OF PROPERTY ACROSS
THE STATE ACQUIRED AND USED BY
THE DMV. ONE OF THOSE IS THIS
HILLCREST PARCEL IN SAN DIEGO.
BUT NEARLY 20 YEARS HAS PASSED.
AND UNFORTUNATELY, SINCE SB 734
HAS BEEN ENACTED, NO AGREEMENTS
HAVE BEEN EXECUTED ON THIS SITE,
AND THE PROPERTY CONTINUES TO BE
IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT IN THE
MIDST OF A GROWING AND VIBRANT
NEIGHBORHOOD ALL AROUND IT. SO A
B 1635 WILL ALLOW A CLEAR
PICTURE AND SPECIFIC DIRECTION
FOR THE SITE PROGRAM VISION TO
MAXIMIZE OUR HOUSING OUTCOMES ON
STATE PROPERTY AND ACCELERATED
TIMELINE TO COMPLETE WAS
BECOMING A HOLE IN THE
REVITALIZATION OF THE
SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD WITH
SHARED STATE AND LOCAL GOALS MET
WITH THIS. I HAVE TWO WITNESSES
AND SUPPORT AND WHERE, ATOP
REPRESENTING THE CITY OF SAN
DIEGO AND HOLLY. FOR MANY UM,

AFFAIRS ON BEHALF OF THE
STANDING YOUR HOUSING COMMISSION
AS THE REGION CONTINUES TO FACE
A HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS
CRISIS. WE CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE
AND EMBRACE VERY CREATIVE
SOLUTIONS LIKE THIS ONE, AND
THAT WILL HELP US CREATE MORE
HOUSING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, AS
MANY OF, YOU KNOW, UNDERUTILIZED
GOVERNMENT OWNED PROPERTIES
PROVIDE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO
PRODUCE MORE OF THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING UNITS NEEDED IN SAN
DIEGO AND THROUGHOUT THE STATE
ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION. I
WANT TO THANK THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER OF OUR NEW CHAIR OF THE
COMMITTEE FOR CONTINUING HIS
LEADERSHIP. AND ADDRESSING THIS
ISSUE WITH ESSENTIAL INNOVATIVE
SOLUTIONS LIKE A B 1635 AND I
URGE YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS.
I AM WIRE ATOP HERE ON BEHALF OF
THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO. SAN DIEGO
HAS BEEN A LEADER. UM OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS OF PROMOTING
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. UM JUST
LAST MONTH, THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPTED MARRY TODD GLORIA'S, UM,
SECOND INSTALLMENT OF A MASSIVE,
UM, CHANGE IN LOCAL ORDINANCES
AND LAND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.
TO REALLY PROMOTE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT. AND IF YOU'VE BEEN
TO THE HILLCREST SITE IN SAN
DIEGO, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS
IS A PERFECT SIGHT FOR HOUSING.
UM, AND SO WE THINK THIS IS A
GREAT EXAMPLE OF A STATE AND
LOCAL PARTNERSHIP THAT CAN
REALLY IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE
THE, UH, YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
ABOUT OUR HOUSING CRISIS, BUT IT
IS A REALLY IMPORTANT STEP
WITHIN THE EXCUSE ME WITHIN THE
WITHIN THE REGION, AND SO, UM,
WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE AND, UH AND REALLY LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
STATE TO MAKE THIS PROJECT COME
TO FRUITION. ALL RIGHT. EMOTION
IN A SECOND, LET'S HOLD OUR
HORSES AND WAIT FOR ANY PUBLIC
COMMENT IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION. GOOD MORNING,
MEMBERS OF THE CALIFORNIA
HOUSING PARTNERSHIP AND VERY
PLEASED TO SUPPORT SOME MOMENTS.
FIRST BILL IS CHAIR OF THIS
COMMITTEE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING. MARY ELLEN SHAKE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF LOCAL
HOUSING FINANCE AGENCIES AND
SUPPORT THANK YOU. BACK TO YOU,
MR WARD TOO CLOSE. UH WE'RE
ACTUALLY SORRY. ANY COMMENTS
FROM THE DICE. WELL THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. AND SORRY. I'M A
LITTLE LATE KIDS GOT TO SCHOOL
SAVED. I APPRECIATE THE KIDS, UM
. WELL I APPRECIATE WE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CHAT ABOUT THIS
YESTERDAY. AND I LIKE THE, UM,
BEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD ON
SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN KIND OF IN
THE WORKS FOR A WHILE, AND I
KIND OF LOOK AT IT OBVIOUSLY
LITTLE DISTRICT TYPE BILL AND,
UM YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU KNOW,
WE NEED MORE AFFORDABLE UNITS.
OBVIOUSLY I THINK THAT COULD UM,
YOU KNOW, BUT IT. IT'LL IT'LL BE
INTERESTING, HOPEFUL. I'M VERY
OPTIMISTIC THAT THERE WILL BE
SOMEBODY THAT WILL COME ALONG
AND BUILD THE PROJECT. BUT I
WONDER IF YOU HAD ANY KIND OF
MISS PART OF THE PRESENTATION,
OBVIOUSLY, BUT, UM DO WE HAVE?
SORT OF OPTIMISM LIKE I DO THAT
THOSE UNITS WILL BE BUILT ON
THIS PROJECT AND THERE WON'T BE
AN ISSUE. THE 25% AFFORDABLE
WON'T SORT OF CLOG IT UP. NO
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. WE
HAVE SEEN PROJECTS BEING BUILT
IN SAN DIEGO THAT ACTUALLY HAVE
ACCOMMODATED 40% AFFORDABLE ON
SITE UNDER THE BASE ZONING
REQUIREMENTS UNDER SOME NEW
LOCAL ORDINANCE THAT I HAD A
PLEASURE OF ENACTING MY LAST
YEAR ON COUNCIL. WE, OF COURSE,
BUILD 100% AFFORDABLE UNITS
ACROSS THE STATE WHEN FINANCING
IS ABLE TO BE ACQUIRED, AND WE
HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO IN
THAT SPACE AS WELL. SO OF COURSE
THAT'S ACHIEVABLE. IT'S A
MINIMUM THRESHOLD, AND I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING
BOTH AFFORDABLE AND MIDDLE
INCOME UNITS THROUGH THIS
OPPORTUNITY. WELL, THANKS. FELT
LIKE I NEEDED TO ASK A QUESTION.
IF I APPRECIATE YOUR FIRST YOUR
FIRST ACT AS CHAIRMAN HERE, SO
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU,
MR VICE CHAIR. THANK YOU. FOR
THOSE COMMENTS, MS WILSON. THANK
YOU FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I
APPRECIATE THE INTENT TO YOU
KNOW, UM, INCREASED HOUSING
PRODUCTION. I MEAN, INCREASED
HOUSING UNITS RIGHT HERE IN THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAVE A FELLOW IN
MY OFFICE. LARA, WHO GREW UP IN
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SHE, SHE
PUT IN HER NOTES THAT THIS WAS
THE PERFECT SPOT FOR HOUSING AND
UNFORTUNATE THAT IT HADN'T, UM,
BEEN USED SO FAR AND THAT YOU'RE
FORCING, REALLY, UM, THE
PREVIOUS AGREEMENT TO BE ABLE TO
LEASE THIS PROPERTY WHAT I
REALLY APPRECIATE ABOUT THIS
PARTICULAR. UM, LANGUAGE IS THAT
IT DOES. AND IT UP FOR OTHERS
LATER. IF WE CAN'T GET THE
PRESCRIPTIVE IN THERE TO FORCE
THE ISSUE, AND I THINK PART OF
WHAT WE NEED TO DO ACROSS THE
STATE IS ENSURE THAT
UNDERUTILIZED LAND IS, UM IS
PART OF HOUSING PRODUCTION AND
PART OF THAT INVENTORY. SO THANK
YOU FOR DOING THAT. AND THANK
YOU FOR ENFORCING THE RULE. AND,
OF COURSE, LIKE I SAID, I HEARD
IT'S A REALLY GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD
TO HAVE NEW HOUSING. IT IS.
THANK YOU, MR WILSON. ALRIGHT,
ANY OTHER MEMBERS? SCOOT UP HERE
WELL, GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY
2024 AND TO ALL OUR NEW HOUSING
BUDDIES HERE, UH BUT I DO
APPRECIATE THIS BILL AS WELL. SO
ECHOING SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES
COMMENTS, BUT I THINK THAT ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE GOING
TO NEED TO DO AS A STATE IS
EXACTLY THIS TYPE OF THOUGHT,
WHICH IS LOOKING FORWARD AND
WITH SOME OF THE LEGISLATION
THAT WAS PASSED LAST YEAR
RELATED TO FAITH BASED AH, AND
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME
OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVEN'T SEEN
AND THIS IS THE TYPE OF PRACTICE
THAT WE WANT TO GET IN THE
PRACTICE OF DOING WHICH IS
PLANNING AHEAD FOR THESE UNITS
THAT WE KNOW WE DESPERATELY
NEED. SO I APPRECIATE IT AND
MOVE THE BILL. THANK YOU, MISS
QUIRK-SILVA ANY OTHER ALIBIS? MR
CHAIR NORMALLY SUBBING TODAY,
BUT I DO LIKE YOUR BILL AND I
LIKE TO SEE THESE TYPE OF LOCAL
EFFORTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S
AGENCIES WITH AGENCIES WORKING
TOGETHER TO DO GOOD THINGS. SO
I'D LIKE TO BE ADDED AS A CO
AUTHOR. ON YOUR BUILDER'S SHOW
SOME SUPPORT UM, AND WITH THAT,
IF YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE THANK
YOU, MR CHAIR, AND I APPRECIATE
THE ROBUST CONVERSATION ON A
DISTRICT BILL. I RECOGNIZE THIS
IS A SITE SPECIFIC QUESTION AT
HAND. BUT I THINK ONE THAT IS
JUST A DATA POINT IN THE BROADER
PICTURE OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO
BE ABLE TO WORK. UM MAYBE A
LITTLE BIT STRONGER WITH STATE
AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS ABOUT
OUR EXPECTATIONS AS A
LEGISLATURE AND WHAT WE WANT TO
SEE THAT, SAID 20 YEARS OF NON,
UM, ACTIVITY ON THE SITE.
DESPITE THIS AUTHORIZATION
HIGHLIGHTS, I THINK A LOT OF
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS THAT WE
HAVE TO DIG INTO AS A COMMITTEE
ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON. WHY WE
CAN'T MOVE IN A TIMELY FASHION.
THE OPPORTUNITY SITES THAT ARE
REALLY RIGHT THERE AT OUR
DISPOSAL. UM WHAT IS GOING ON
WITH PROCESS WHAT IS GOING ON
WITH FINANCING AND SO I THINK,
TEASING A LOT OF THAT OUT
THROUGH THE WORK THAT WE DO AS A
COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE ONE OF
OUR KEY TENANTS HERE. IN THE
YEAR AHEAD OF US SO WITH THAT,
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
IPHONE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
JUST LIKE TO SAY IT AGAIN. THIS
IS THE THINGS WE NEED TO BE
DOING AS A LEGISLATIVE BODY IS
MAKING SURE THESE AGENCIES
AREN'T DRAGGING THEIR FEET AND
MOVING FORWARD, AND THAT'S WHY I
ASKED TO BE ON THE BILL WITH
YOU. BECAUSE THIS IS IT MIGHT BE
A DISTRICT BILL, BUT THIS IS AN
EXAMPLE. AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL
KIND OF SHAKE THEM A LITTLE BIT
TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. WITH
THAT SECRETARY. PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL MOTION DO PASS AT THE
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS WORK. I PATTERSON

THEIR WAY. UM, YOU KNOW, I'M

WEDNESDAYS. BUT I WANT TO
WELCOME YOU ALL TO THIS YEAR'S
COMMITTEE ON THE ASSEMBLY
COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY

SPEAKERS SUPPORT THAT WE HAVE
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CRISES FACING
US AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF
THIS COMMITTEE WAY ON ALL OF US
TO BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT THOSE
BIGGER SOLUTIONS TO HELP SUPPORT
THE CONSTRUCTION OF MORE
WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
, AND THE WORK THAT WE NEED TO
DO TO BE AN L. A ADDRESS. ONE OF
CALIFORNIA'S BIGGEST COST OF
LIVING NEEDS AND THE PRESSURES
THAT THEY'RE FACING. WE'VE GOT
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE BEING
RESPONSIBLE WITH THE DOLLARS AND
THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE THINKING
ABOUT. HOW ARE THEY EFFECTIVE?
HOW ARE WE ADDRESSING
HOMELESSNESS AND WE HAVE TO
RECOGNIZE THAT MORE THAN 50% OF
OUR STATE OR RENTERS, AND
THEY'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY HAVE SOME CHAMPIONS AND
SUPPORTERS IN BALANCE WITH THE
NEED THAT WE HAVE AS LANDLORDS.
TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THEIR
ISSUES. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF
STRATEGIC GOALS THAT I KNOW THAT
WE'RE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH. I
