Build Back Better Act
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Build Back Better Act, a $1.7 trillion bill that includes an expansion of the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC), the introduction of the neighborhood homes tax credit (NHTC), an additional tribal allocation of the new markets tax credit (NMTC) and $325 billion in renewable energy tax incentives. H.R. 5376 passed 220-213 and now goes to the Senate. The legislation includes an extension of the 12.5% increase in 9% LIHTC allocations that began in 2018 through 2024, adding a 10% increase, plus an annual inflation adjustment, to that amount. The bill also would reduce the 50% test for affordable rental housing financed with private activity bonds (PABs) to 25% for calendar years 2022-26, establish a 50% basis boost for extremely low-income housing and provides a 30% basis boost for LIHTC properties in tribal area

Indigenous People/ First Nations & Land Justice
On November 19, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation declaring November 2021 as “Native American Heritage Month” in the State of California. 

It is essential to not end at acknowledgement, but for the state of California to allocate reparations to the First Nations of the land we live on by providing economic opportunities including return of land, support of local leadership, affordable housing, and community development. 
Most tribes from outside of the original 13 colonies have some form of a treaty recognized by the United States, which gives them peace, land jurisdiction, natural resource rights and protection by the United States. The United States signed nearly 400 treaties with Native tribes before the Indian Appropriations Act of 1871. In areas like California there are 100 or more tribes that drafted treaties with the federal government but were never ratified, and are still not federally recognized and have not been granted their land back or federal funding.
