California voters are considering Proposition 1, which aims to authorize the state to borrow $11.25 billion through bonds to fund affordable housing projects for low- and middle-income residents, including loans for builders, veterans, farmworkers, students, and tribal members. The measure responds to a housing shortage, with nearly 1.4 million homes needed for very low-income households and funding shortages halting construction of thousands of affordable units. Supporters, mainly Democrats and housing organizations, emphasize increasing homeownership and expanding affordable housing, while opponents argue reforms to building regulations should precede borrowing to reduce housing costs.
