I was an original cosponsor of bipartisan legislation of the House version of a bill that has now been enacted into law, the Genius Act. 🧵 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The SUPPLY Act will empower homeowners to boost our nation's housing supply—and there's the added benefit of helping folks generate rent to help pay their mortgage, have a home for their parents, or for that child who's still living at home.

Powerful storytelling from Coastside News on how Rancho San Benito and Cascade Ranch are helping Latino farmworkers gain the skills and knowledge to become farm owners and run their own businesses. www.coastsidenews.com/podcasts/hel...

Helping Latino farmworkers become farm owners - Our Stories Podcast 9

Historically, Latinos have worked the land on the Coastside—but rarely owned it. That may be starting to change. In this episode of Our Stories, reporter Sebastian Miño-Bucheli takes us into

As mayor of San Jose, I cut red tape to make building ADUs easier, but one barrier remained: financing. The SUPPLY Act bill will help lower that hurdle, empowering homeowners to be part of the solution to our nation’s housing crisis.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 18(source)

Thanks to Samara and the Casita Coalition for showing what the future of housing looks like—right in our backyards.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 18(source)

Meeting our nation's housing needs means we need to move fast. In San Jose, we proved that manufactured, prefab homes can help us move faster. The SUPPLY Act will finally allow federally backed, flexible financing for ADUs like the one behind me.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 18(source)

Today, I introduced the SUPPLY Act with Rep. Andrew Garbarino. Our legislation empowers homeowners to be a part of the solution to our housing crisis. Read more in this piece in @wsj.com. www.wsj.com/economy/hous...

Congress holds the power of the purse for a reason: we’re the branch closest to the people. This rescissions package hands that power to Trump, giving him carte blanche to slash critical programs. buff.ly/qX0Bgz7

Only 1 in 4 families who qualify for federal housing assistance actually receive it. Investing in the HOME program and solutions to build our supply will help close that gap.

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.govJul 16(source)

When I was Mayor of San Jose, The HOME program wasn't enough to meet our city's housing needs. Cutting it now, as Trump proposes, would be a step backward in the fight to solve our housing crisis.

I met with Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia and an old friend, on the day that it was announced that Nvidia achieved a milestone valuation. Safe to say, he was all smiles.

Great read about how programs like Cascade Regenerator and Rancho San Benito are helping leaders like Maria Zavala build thriving businesses and reshape the future of local agriculture.

From farm worker to farm owner

Two programs on the Coastside are providing farmworkers with training and support to help them become small business owners running their own farms.

This is an epidemic of lawlessness from this administration. The 14th Amendment is clear, affirmed by eight federal judges and the Supreme Court 127 years ago. Yet, they continue to push unconstitutional executive orders and terrorize communities.

Our natural spaces are among our nation’s greatest treasures, and we have a responsibility to preserve them for future generations.
