Our Homes - Ending the Housing Crisis: Achieving Social Housing in California with Assembly Bill 2053

Our Homes: Ending the Housing Crisis

Assemblymember Alex Lee currently has Assembly Bill 2053 (AB 2053) pending before the California State Legislature that will help the state achieve social housing for all. Social housing is mixed income, publicly developed housing for all that avoids concentrated poverty. He hopes that AB 2053 creates a self sustaining neighborhood with equitable housing for all, no matter their economic status.

Alex Lee represents California’s 25th Assembly District, located in the Silicon Valley region. Assemblymember Lee, elected in 2020, became the youngest Asian American legislator and first openly bisexual state legislator in California history. In the State Legislature, he has made housing affordability and tackling the housing crisis his top priority. This episode of Our Homes is hosted by Senator Stanley Chang.
