Help Guide Statewide Legislative Priorities
SCRHA and CalRHA members and affiliates provide quality housing to thousands of residents in California.  To do it well is costly, and it must be offset through current rent, predictable rent growth, and limited mandates on the rental business.  Housing will once again be at the forefront of politics in 2024. We will not only see our usual challenges from the legislature, but we will also be facing a threat to Costa-Hawkins on the ballot this year. Share which government mandates most adversely impact your business and their costs to you, so that together we can find solutions to protect our industry. Please share your thoughts and fill out the survey by Friday, September 29.
