A green headline text at the top reads “State-Owned Excess Sites Awarded $21 Million,” followed by white body copy that reads, “through the Excess Sites Local Government Matching Grants Program. The funds were awarded in matching grants that will support 369 new homes on state-owned excess land.” Three locations are highlighted on the yellow state outline, with copy that reads, “Today’s LGMG awards include: Related in South Lake Tahoe, Mutual Housing in Sacramento, and Visionary Homebuilders in Stockton.” Below this list is a colorful logo for The California Department of Housing and Community Development and web address hcd.ca.gov.
ALT A dark green background with a light green text quote mark on the upper left corner. In the middle is white text reading "The Governor’s Executive Order to identify and make use of state--owned, excess infill sites has allowed us to focus efforts on building affordable housing in places accessible to jobs and transit, creating a win-win-win for residents, the environment, and communities. HCD's Excess Sites Local Government Matching Grant Program has allowed us to foster a proactive partnership with local jurisdictions to expedite housing development on state land, filling funding gaps that can delay or derail development and leveraging local investments for maximum community benefit." Below this is text that attributes the quote to Gustavo Velasquez, Director of the California Department of Housing and Community Development. On the lower right is an image of Director Velasquez and a colorful logo for the Department of Housing and Community Development.

ALT It’s no surprise that California has an affordability crisis. High housing costs have squeezed 500,000 people out of the state and forced tens of thousands onto its streets. But there’s an oft-overlooked group of residents — 1.6 million of them — who live in mobile home parks.
