Thank you to those who attended the California Housing Consortium’s 2022 Policy Forum and Housing Hall of Fame Awards in Los Angeles on September 8^th.

CHC’s Executive Director Ray Pearl started the day welcoming close to 250 attendees from across the housing sector. Ray introduced our Guest Speaker, California Speaker of the Assembly Anthony Rendon, to the podium where he spoke on his commitment to advance affordable housing bills. The Speaker shared his thoughts on this legislative session and spoke on the urgency of building affordable housing in the state. In particular, Speaker Rendon shared his support for AB 2011 (Wicks), the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act which is headed to the Governor’s desk where he will either sign or veto by September 30th. As the Speaker concluded his speech, Ray presented him with a Housing Hall of Fame Award for his contribution in the affordable housing space.

It was a privilege to honor this year’s distinguished group of inductees into the California Housing Hall of Fame. This year we are pleased to recognize the following affordable housing industry champions: Speaker Anthony Rendon, Carol Galante, Mary Kaiser, and Robin Hughes.
