Sacramento, California – As a follow up to his successful negotiation to end the threat of the 710 Freeway and enact protections for non-profits operating in the 710 corridor, Senator Anthony J. Portantino (D – La Cañada Flintridge) worked closely with the City of South Pasadena to accelerate the transition of Caltrans owned homes out of the state’s hands. The collaboration led to the drafting of Senate Bill 381. Senator Portantino joined Governor Newsom in Oakland today as he signed 27 housing bills into law. SB 381 provides protections for existing tenants, includes a strategy to protect historic homes, and gives flexibility to the City of South Pasadena to create more affordable housing.
