The fee is estimated to generate $700 million per year for the HOMeS fund. The bill originates from the office of Senator Mark DeSaulnier and is being sponsored by California Housing Consortium and Housing California. The bill has received an enthusiastic response from housing organizations such as SCANPH. "The HOMeS Act takes a significant step towards ending homelessness and helping the most vulnerable find safe and affordable homes," said Paul Zimmerman, former Executive Director of SCANPH. "The legislature must now find a new way to address our housing needs. We know that what's there is not working - and for the sake of our working families - they need to fix it."
