In Support of California Senate Bill 79, Housing Development: transit-oriented development

This resolution directs the ASUC to advocate for policies expanding affordable housing for students, especially those from low-income backgrounds. It specifically urges Governor Newsom to sign California Senate Bill 79, which legalizes and upzones higher density housing near transit stations and reserves a percentage for lower-income households. This action aims to reduce financial burdens on UC Berkeley students by increasing housing availability and promoting public transit accessibility.
