Treasurer Tackles California’s Affordable Housing Crisis

CA Treasurer John Chiang administers two programs that provide incentives to spur production of quality, affordable housing developments. For BRIDGE, these programs represent key partnerships that make our work in California possible.

In 2015, the Treasurer’s office championed reforms that many affordable housing advocates called “the most significant in the past 15 years.” View the video above to learn how the programs tangibly impact communities and Californians.
