Enterprise, California Department of Housing and Community Development, and Wells Fargo are bringing together 200 local and state stakeholders for “A Common Cause: Unlocking Homekey.”

On her first day in office, new Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced a state of emergency on homelessness and days later launched “Inside Safe” to move people from tent encampments to housing. Jimar Wilson, Enterprise’s vice president and market leader for Southern California, finds this swift action and renewed investment encouraging. Still, he recognizes there are no quick or easy fixes to his hometown’s affordable housing and homelessness crisis. 

Los Angeles County needs a permanent and dedicated source of funding for affordable housing to combat homelessness – and Measure A is our best opportunity.

This year, we celebrated many victories for affordable housing in California.
