This year, the PICO California network embarked on a statewide campaign to address this massive and growing housing affordability and homelessness crisis. We invite you to read our 2023 Impact Report, which details the success of our network this year: https://lnkd.in/gbhCWE9g Our broad, consistent, and powerful organizing ensured that state representatives heard our voices loud and clear about the urgent need to protect renters and prevent homelessness. As a result, we helped to pass three pieces of legislation that have the potential to impact over two million families: Streamlining the state approval process for affordable housing development on faith institution and school land; Protecting low-wage renters against no-fault evictions and closing common eviction loopholes; Limiting the ability of local governments to adopt local ordinances, rules, policies, programs, or regulations that penalize a tenant's interaction with law enforcement, or to mandate landlords to implement such policies or procedures. We are in awe of the grassroots leaders across PICO California who not only have a vision for radically inclusive and equitable communities, but who every day devote their hearts, minds, hands, and feet to building it through the beautiful ministry of community organizing. In faith, love power, PICO California
