SR 71 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to affordable homeownership.

This Senate Resolution recognizes the importance of affordable homeownership for economic stability and racial equity in California, particularly for lower-income families and communities of color. It highlights how nonprofit-led programs like Habitat for Humanity provide long-term affordability through mechanisms such as deed restrictions and shared equity while engaging local volunteers and strengthening neighborhoods. The resolution calls attention to California's low homeownership rate and housing shortage, urging state officials to prioritize affordable home supply in their policies and budget decisions.

MINOR
The changes between the introduced and enrolled versions of SR 71 are entirely formatting and procedural in nature. The enrolled version removes line numbers, adjusts the header format, drops the coauthor list, and adds the adoption date (February 5, 2026) and a Secretary of the Senate attestation line. No substantive policy language was added, removed, or modified.
TECHNICAL

Header reformatted from the introduced style to the enrolled style, including removal of coauthor names (Caballero, Durazo, Grayson, Padilla, Reyes) and the original date line.

Added adoption statement: 'Senate Resolution No. 71 read and adopted by the Senate February 5, 2026' and an attestation line for the Secretary of the Senate.

Line numbers removed throughout and page numbering adjusted from 99 to 98, reflecting standard enrolled bill formatting.
