AB 57: California Dream for All Program: descendants of formerly enslaved people.
What AB 57 does, verified March 9, 2026
The bill aims to amend the California housing finance agency to provide more opportunities for descendants of formerly enslaved people to access affordable housing. It establishes a certification process for these individuals and requires at least 10% of the California Dream for All Fund to be reserved for applicants who meet the requirements and have been certified as descendants of formerly enslaved people. This provision will become operative only if a separate bill establishing the Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery is enacted and takes effect on or before January 1, 2027.
