Steve Napolitano Re: Support for South Bay Regional Housing Trust Legislation and Budget Mayor Pro Tem Request
Richard Montgomery Dear Chair Boyles and Members of the Board:
Councilmember
On behalf of the City of Manhattan Beach, I offer our support in concept for Joe Franklin
legislation requested by the South Bay Cities Council of Governments' Councilmember
(SBCCOG) Board of Directors that would create a South Bay Regional Suzanne Hadley Housing Trust. Our city is also supportive of the budget request for seed Councilmember funding.
Tim Lilligren, C.P.A. Residents throughout the State face an unprecedented housing affordability Treasurer
crisis. Our city intends to work with the SBCCOG as it further explores the feasibility of a regional housing trust that could facilitate the development of affordable housing in participating South Bay cities.
We look forward to the final bill language as we further explore the possibility of joining the South Bay Regional Housing Trust should it be created.
Sincerely,
Hildy Stern
Mayor
