SB 469 clarifies that the use of state affordable housing dollars does not trigger Article 34's requirement for voter approval. Quickly building more affordable housing is a priority.
Article 34 was first adopted by voters in 1950, with concerns that affordable housing would lead to greater racial integration of exclusively white neighborhoods.
CAR issued a formal apology for past support of Article 34, condemning its discriminatory impact, and remains a strong supporter of its repeal to ease affordable housing creation.
A majority of Californians support repealing Article 34, but a voter education campaign is needed due to the article's effects, making the campaign costly and challenging.
