HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
Every North Coast resident deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. The housing crisis in Humboldt County is real: rents are rising, inventory is scarce, and too many of our neighbors are one missed paycheck away from homelessness.
We are committed to:
Expanding funding for affordable and workforce housing development in Humboldt County, including in rural and tribal communities
Supporting local zoning reforms that allow more housing without displacing existing low-income residents
Protecting renters through strong tenant protections, anti-gouging measures, and just-cause eviction standards
Addressing homelessness with dignity through permanent supportive housing, mental health services, and harm reduction, not criminalization
Opposing short-term rental conversions and speculative investment that take housing off the market for working families
Housing is a human right. No one who works on the North Coast should be priced out of living here.
