Our Homes and Cities are Under Attack
Sacramento is increasing housing costs without meeting the need for affordable housing, approving density, ignoring water shortages, removing environmental protections, and transferring wealth from individuals to corporations!

Hosted by Susan Kirsch, Director, Catalysts for Local Control
Thursdays, June 17 – July 1, 2021 5:30-6:30 pm

JUNE 17
Inflated RHNA Numbers Lead to Ruin
Art Kiesel, former Mayor, Foster City
RHNA – Regional Housing Needs Assessment/Allocations. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) calculates new housing needs by region and then assigns the local Council of Governments (MTC/ABAG) to determine the allocations for each city. But what if the numbers are wrong and the cities can’t meet the allocations?
JUNE 24
Mother Earth: Sacrificing the Environment for Developer Profits
Linda Koelling, former Mayor, Foster City
Kristi Corley, community activist
Legislators, under the influence of developers' demands that their projects "pencil out," are pushing housing bills that unravel 40 years of environmental protections. They put their constituents in danger at a time when drought, fires, and flooding have never been more prevalent.
JULY 1
What WE Can Do to Stop the Attack Town Hall Team
Across the state, individuals and groups are challenging land grab legislation marketed as providing affordable housing, but actually benefiting the vulture capitalists who orchestrated the housing crash of 2008. Learn about the big and small ways everyone can participate in writing letters, making calls, testifying, writing and hosting events to keep democracy strong.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead
