Undocumented immigrants in California could now be eligible for state assistance to buy homes, reflecting a move towards inclusivity amidst a housing crisis.
Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula, who authored the bill, emphasized the legislation's focus on fairness and providing opportunities to "hard-working, responsible people" aiming for home ownership.
Republican lawmakers criticized the bill, asserting priority should be given to legal residents needing housing assistance, emphasizing focus on those "who are in the country legally."
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has until the end of September to make a decision on the bill, which has sparked significant legislative debate.
