Additionally, he co-authored AB2053 to create a California Housing Authority to manage development of mixed income housing across the state. Assm. Haney has already shown his dedication to bringing the interest in social justice and community development that he demonstrated as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to his role in state leadership.
