The flyer also talks about the affordable housing crisis and also facts about voucher program usage in California alone. It shows how many homeless there are in the United States, and specifically California, where there are over 200,000 homeless individuals.  Spoke about her recent visit to Washington DC and meeting with California Delegates to discuss the housing issues plaguing California.
