Advocate for the Adoption of HOTMA Eligibility Guidelines

We are excited to announce an important advocacy initiative aimed at promoting equitable access to affordable housing across California. We need your support in urging Affordable Housing Subsidy Agencies and Housing Providers to adopt uniform tenant eligibility requirements in alignment with the federal Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA).

Why is this important?

Adopting these guidelines will ensure consistent and fair housing practices statewide, streamline the housing application process, and create better affordable housing opportunities for applicants. With your help, we can make a significant impact on the policies affecting our portfolios.
