Local resources to address the problems of homelessness are already overstretched. Federal support has been diminishing. In view of these circumstances, the proposal contained in AB 368 (Speier)that would authorize a Redevelopment Agency to use up to 30% of its low and moderate income housing fund outside of its jurisdiction for emergency transitional housing is appropriate. The legislation is appropriately permissive, and maintains local discretion as to the actual use of such funds for emergency and transitional housing. We ask that you support AB 368 as it moves through the Legislature.
