Santa Cruz YIMBY Endorsements
Explanations for endorsements are below.
✅ Yes
YES on C — Santa Cruz: Creates a reliable $5M annual fund for 100% affordable housing and homelessness solutions. With strong oversight, exemptions for those in need, and a 22-year sunset, it ensures accountability. A YES vote means more homes for local workers and families — keeping the City of Santa Cruz livable for all.
⛔️ No
NO on B — Santa Cruz: Realtor-backed, Measure B misleads voters with modest revenue, weak affordability rules, and limited accountability. It raises far less than Measure C and spreads funds across roads, infrastructure, and climate projects, leaving little for housing. A NO vote stops a deceptive, realtor-backed measure that drains resources without delivering affordable housing.
