Campaigns

We believe that the Bay Area must be a place where everyone has a stable, affordable place to call home. In the face of a severe affordable housing shortage, rising rents, and an increase in homelessness, we need bold solutions that address these intertwined challenges and enable our region to achieve its fullest potential. That’s why the NPH Action Fund powers campaigns to win housing resources at the ballot box. Together, we can build a future for the Bay Area that is rooted in justice, community, and possibility.

The following are NPH’s 2026 electoral endorsements:

NPH Action Fund Endorses Yes on Proposition 1: Build the Affordable Homes California Needs

Yes on Proposition 1 will deliver more than 40,000 homes across our state. It’s the most important issue on the ballot, will invest $11.2 billion in affordable housing in every part of our state, and is sponsored by Bay Area Assembly Member Buffy Wicks and State Senator Christopher Cabaldon. NPH strongly supports Proposition 1 and encourages you to vote yes! View info on Proposition 1.

We also welcome you to donate and volunteer if you are able! Please email us community@nonprofithousing.org for more details on how to get involved.

NPH Action Fund Endorses Yes on Proposition 3: Protect our Schools, Healthcare and Housing

Passing Proposition 3 will prevent billions in state budget cuts to our local schools and healthcare. If we don’t pass this measure it will soon mean larger class sizes, laying off teachers, and major cuts to healthcare and Medi-Cal. This is not a new tax and does not raise taxes. It simply extends the existing tax rates on the wealthiest that have been in place for more than a decade, preventing billions in cuts to public schools and healthcare. View more info on Proposition 3.

NPH Action Fund Endorses Yes on Proposition 37: Bring Homeownership to Middle-Class Californians

Proposition 37 is a ballot measure focused on expanding access to homeownership for the middle class and increasing the supply of new homes to make housing more affordable. For many people, the biggest barrier to buying a home isn’t the monthly payment. It’s the down payment. This measure would help low and middle income Californians through a new program helping Californians afford homes. View more info on Proposition 37.

NPH Action Fund Endorses Yes on Proposition 45: Building an Affordable California

Proposition 45 would streamline project approvals to lower costs, protect our environment, and deliver the housing, hospitals, clean energy, and infrastructure Californians need. From setting deadlines for local agencies to act on environmental review to limiting lawsuits against affordable housing, the measure will help build affordable housing faster and at a lower cost. View more info on Proposition 45.

NPH opposes the following two measures, because they would make it harder for you to vote and for local communities to fund affordable housing priorities:

NPH Action Fund Opposes Proposition 43: Protect Local Affordable Housing Funding

For decades, California communities have had the right to make our own decisions at the ballot box about how we spend our own money in our own communities. The Local Taxpayer Deception Act takes that right away. By requiring a two-thirds supermajority to pass locally-proposed taxes, this measure gives a minority of voters the power to veto the will of the majority – blocking investments in affordable housing, schools, fire protection, homelessness solutions and much more. View more info on Proposition 43.

NPH Action Fund Opposes Proposition 39: Protect Your Right To Vote

Current law makes it easy to vote in California once you are registered, by preventing local officials from adding barriers to voting. Proposition 39 would require every voter to show acceptable photo identification every time they vote, slowing down the voting process for all, and adding millions in new costs. For some people, this could deny them the right to vote altogether if they forget their ID or need to have it renewed. View more info on Proposition 39.
