Homelessness & Housing
SacAct holds the belief that housing is a human right. Sacramento has a severe affordable housing and homelessness situation, and we seek to address this crisis by advocating for:
cooperation between the City and County of Sacramento to develop a comprehensive plan to end homelessness
expanded mental health resources to help unhoused people access and remain in stable housing
increased housing stability and access in vulnerable communities, including youth and formerly incarcerated residents
inclusionary zoning and ways to assure that affordable housing is distributed throughout the region
city, county and state legislation to provide more affordable housing and reduce homelessness

State Legislator Lobby Day- April 20, 2026
Twelve volunteer leaders from multiple congregations met with five Legislative Aides and one Legislator that represent Sacramento districts to advocate for a package of bills that will streamline housing approvals and increase housing stock, a state housing bond to build 135,000 more homes, and a state-owned bank that will make financing affordable housing less expensive. This group plans to return in June and August to continue our lobbying efforts to keep the pressure on as the bills move through various refinements and committees and, hopefully, ultimately to the Assembly and Senate floors for passage.
Get involved!
Join us for our next lobby days at the capitol Mondays, June 8 and August 17, 9am-noon and/or 1-4pm. The more people from different congregations and districts we have in person, the better! Contact: Meg Gunderson at mego369@gmail.com
Subscribe to the SacACT H&H ACTION ALERT e-mail list to amplify our lobbying efforts. After each lobby day, we will send you suggested text that recaps our position for each bill and provide links to your legislators’ e-mail portal. The whole process takes 2 minutes but has a huge impact when many of us do it!
