On March 14th California YIMBY Policy Director, Ned Resnikoff, will present his findings from his report entitled, “Housing Abundance as a Condition for Ending Homelessness.”

In his report, Ned reviews lessons from Houston Texas and how California can improve their approach. A quick snapshot of his findings can be found to the left. His findings highlight the importance of housing supply and pro-housing land use policies. Supply has a direct correlation with helping everyone on the housing continuum and keeping those most in need from experiencing homelessness.
