summary

The ASUC affirms its commitment to advocating for policies that expand affordable housing opportunities for students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. This resolution urges Governor Newsom to sign California Senate Bill 79, which legalizes and upzones higher density housing near transit hubs and reserves a percentage for lower-income households. This action aims to reduce student financial burdens, improve public transit accessibility, and create more sustainable urban infrastructure.
