Our work in the research, policy development, narrative, and media spaces continued to shape the publics understanding of the housing shortage and affordability crisisbuilding support for what could be possible. California YIMBY staff were quoted or mentioned in more than 1,000 articles in media outlets from across the globe.

Our successful legislative efforts include new laws that will eliminate parking minimums in transit-rich neighborhoods, fast-track affordable housing in commercial zones on transit corridors, support greater diversity in the construction industry, accelerate development of accessory dwelling units, help universities build more student housing; and advance efforts to repeal Article 34 of the California Constitution, which impedes the development of affordable public housing. Our legislative advocacy included developing tools and resources for activists and creating opportunities for them to directly lobby their elected officials via mechanisms such as signatures on support letters, calls and emails to legislators, and the California YIMBY Lobby Day, during which hundreds of community members from across the state of California met with their representatives and discussed priority housing legislation.In the lead-up to the November election, California YIMBY released our inaugural legislative scorecard, showcasing pro-housing leaders in the California state legislature. Seventeen Assemblymembers and Senators achieved a perfect vote score in 2023. California YIMBY also focused on expanding our coalition to bring in new allies and partners to achieve our agenda of housing abundance and affordability. These efforts included ongoing support for the Home Building Alliance (HBA), the Local Elected Official Working Group, and our Rapid Response Team, which engages grassroots pro-housing activists and local YIMBY chapter activists on our legislative priorities. We continued to deepen our working relationships with affordable housing, racial justice, and climate change organizationspaving the way for larger, more diverse, and more powerful coalitions and advocacy. 341973 In 2023, the California YIMBY Education Fund continued to develop and broaden its platform as an educational resource on housing policy. Major accomplishments include hiring an inaugural Policy Director and Research Director to help lead the development of a cross-sector policy framework and think tank. As a part of these programmatic activities, we released a new report on strategies to combat Californias growing homelessness, including land-use solutions. This report was accompanied by an easy-to-understand animated explainer video. Our programmatic approach to working with traditional and online media is a crucial tool for achieving our educational goals by advancing a strong, research-backed, pro-housing narrative on various media platforms and outlets that reach millions of people across California and the United States. 3894993 true true true false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 22 0 true 0 false false false false true true false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X Gordon Singh 9732898375 1121 L Street Suite 210 Sacramento CA 95814 Brian Hanlon Executive Dir. 1.00 55.00 X X 0 335815 17868 Melissa Breach Senior Vice President and COO 0.00 40.00 0 224930 20373 Matthew M Lewis Director of Communications 0.00 40.00 0 152330 17667 Konstantin A Hatcher Dir.
