AUCTION AEEMT Support Needed For State Low Income Housing Production Package Dramatic federal budget cuts and restructuring of federal housing and welfare programs means California's sen­ iors, disabled and working families seeking decent housing must turn more to state and local officials. This year, for the first time in 7 years, we are asking the state to provide significant funds to help house California's most disadvantaged residents. Discussions with leadership in both houses and the administration confirm our assessment that a $25 million package is probably high, but that with a coordinated, focused campaign we have a chance to achieve a sizable part of it. The consensus from consultations throughout the state is to seek funding for 6 of the state's most successful programs: • State Low Income Housing Tax Credits: AB 168 (Torlakson) adds $10 million for this successful program.
