Gavin Newsom on Friday, Sept. 6, vetoed a controversial housing bill that would have ensured Californians are not excluded from assistance programs due to their immigration status. > AB 1840 would have ensured that an applicant’s status was not the sole reason they were denied from any of California’s Housing Finance Authority’s home purchase assistance programs, including the Dream for All Program, which provides a loan for first-time homebuyers.
