Prop 1C Implementation Underway!
Implementation is now underway for Prop. 1C -- The Housing & Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006. In November 2006, California voters approved Prop. 1C, which funded existing affordable-home programs and created new programs. For the status of each program, we encourage you to visit the following websites:
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
- Workshops and Stakeholder Meetings for HCD Bond-Funded Housing Programs (Adobe PDF)
Monthly program summary of funds available through the Division of Financial Assistance. These numbers are for informational purposes and are subject to change.
- Bond Funds Available From the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) (Adobe PDF) Summary information on bond funds available from CalHFA, and where to get more information to apply.
The following programs are still being finalized:
- Regional Planning, Housing and Infill Incentive Program
(see Prop. 1C-funded Infill Incentive Grant Program)- Affordable Housing Innovation Fund
- Housing-Related Parks Program

We appreciate your interest in making affordable homes a priority in California and ensuring that all Californians have a safe, decent place to live.
What's Next? Secure a Permanent Source of Funding for Affordable Homes
The success of Prop. 46 and Prop. 1C were huge steps in the right direction; however, bond money eventually runs dry. To meet California's long-term housing needs, we must find a permanent, steady, dedicated source of funding.
Discussions about this "Permanent Source" are beginning. Lynn Jacobs, Director of the California Department of Housing and Community Development, is convening regional meetings to explore funding sources as well as program and implementation ideas.
The California Housing Consortium (CHC) and Housing California are also working to build support for the Permanent Source.
