Issue Position: Homelessness & Cost of Living

Issue Position

Elizabeth believes we must invest in the stability and sustainability of our communities, by increasing available housing stock and access to affordable housing throughout California. The lack of affordable housing exacerbates the homeless crisis. Everyone should have a safe place to lay their head at night. In order to address the cost of living and, in turn homelessness, she supports investing in community-specific wrap-around care to provide the support necessary to ensuring these neighbors are able to get the help they need and get back up on their feet. She will also vote to ensure state funding to sustain the availability of shelter beds, and a cooling/warming space as appropriate to the season.
