Measure A1 will raise $580 million for affordable homes across Alameda County. The $580 million bond would fund the creation of permanently affordable rental housing, help moderate-income households afford home ownership and make existing housing for low-income seniors and the disabled safe and accessible. $460 million of the funding would create rental housing, and $120 million would go to support homeownership programs.  See recent Measure A1 news
