The Student HOMES Coalition
@studenthomesco.bsky.social
We are California students advocating for more housing on and near college campuses to restore the affordability of higher ed and end student homelessness.
#AB893 was signed by @governor.ca.gov today!

This bill will transform our campus communities and supercharge affordable housing development near our campuses.

Students are hard at work to make housing on and off campus more affordable. On Tuesday, we spoke alongside
@asmmikefong.bsky.social, @asmrickzbur.bsky.social, Sen. Dave Cortese, and reps from UCSA and @cayimby.bsky.social to discuss solutions to the student housing crisis. Full press release here:

Land near college campuses in California is overwhelmingly zoned for single-family only development—which students can't afford. Allowing more multi-family in campus development zones will help alleviate the student housing crisis. studenthomescoalition.org/research

You’ve heard the buzz about permitting reform, but what steps are lawmakers taking right now to speed up housing approvals? Check out this fact sheet on the Assembly’s fast track housing package, featuring @davidalvarezca.bsky.social authored and Student HOMES-sponsored AB357!

At the CSU and CCCs, where the vast majority of California college students study, both on and off-campus rent poses a significantly higher cost barrier than tuition. Supporting education means supporting housing! t.co/ROloOMFkfW

Our student housing study found that while on-campus housing prices are consistent across the UC, off-campus prices vary with local market conditions. Allowing more housing near campuses through reforms like AB 893 will reduce costs for students.

Our study (linked) of student housing costs around the state found that housing options at colleges and universities in the coastal zone are higher than average. We need AB 357 to remove unnecessary barriers to student housing construction near the coast. studenthomescoalition.org/_files/ugd/7...
