Join Capitol Weekly for CALIFORNIA HOUSING CRISIS. This day-long conference will be held on February 8, 2018, and will be filmed for broadcast by the California Channel.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.
Half the state’s households struggle to afford the roof over their heads, and homeownership in the state is at its lowest rate since the 1940s. Dwindling inventory and market forces beyond regulatory control have caused skyrocketing prices in many areas. Homelessness is at levels never before seen in the state. Is lack of housing creating a vast underclass and a two-tier society?
