The California Assembly passed the Affordable Housing Bond Act on June 3, putting the $10 billion bond measure one step closer to reaching the voters.

Assembly Bill 736, proposed by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, an Oakland Democrat, would authorize the general obligation bond measure to be placed on the June 2, 2026, statewide primary election ballot.
