LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 474, as amended, Ward. Tenancy: Housing discrimination: nonprofit home-sharing program: income tax exclusion: eligibility for public social services.(1)Existing law allows a lodger, as defined, occupying a room on a periodic basis within a dwelling unit occupied by the owner or the owner of the dwelling unit to terminate the hiring of the room by giving written notice to the other party at least as long before the expiration of the term of hiring as the term itself, as specified. Upon expiration of the notice period, the right of the lodger to remain in the dwelling unit or any part of the dwelling unit is terminated and the lodger may be removed from the premises.This bill would repeal these provisions.(2)(1) Existing law, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, prohibits housing discrimination based on specified characteristics. Existing law defines discrimination to include refusal to sell, rent, or lease housing accommodations. Under existing law, discrimination does not include refusal to rent or lease a portion of an owner-occupied single-family house to a person as a roomer or boarder living within the household if no more than one person is to live within the household, as specified.This bill would specify that discrimination does not include refusal to rent or lease to a person as a tenant, instead of a roomer or a boarder, and would increase the number persons living in the household under these provisions to 2.(3)(2) The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal law, generally defines gross income as income from whatever source derived, except as specifically excluded, and provides various exclusions from gross income for purposes of computing tax liability. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and before January 1, 2031, the bill would additionally exclude from gross income any payment received by a lower income household from a tenant while participating as a landlord in a nonprofit home-sharing program. The bill would define various terms for these purposes.Existing law requires a bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements.This bill would include additional information required for any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure.(4)(3) Existing law establishes various public social services programs that are administered by counties to provide eligible recipients with certain benefits, including, but not limited to, cash assistance under the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program, nutrition assistance under the CalFresh program, and health care services under the Medi-Cal program.This bill would exempt income received through renting bedrooms or units as a landlord in a nonprofit home-sharing program, as defined, from consideration as income or assets for the purposes of determining eligibility and benefit amounts for public social services, as specified. By expanding the scope of eligibility for public social services, thereby increasing duties on counties, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.(5)Existing law requires a bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements.This bill would include additional information required for any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure.(6)(4) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) Californians who are older or experience disabilities, many of whom live on fixed incomes, face increasing housing cost burdens, with roughly 8 out of 10 extremely low income older renters paying more than one-half of their monthly income on rent. Fair market rents in California for an efficiency range from $770 per month to $3,056 per month, far more than an older adult or adult with a disability on a fixed income can afford, particularly when the maximum Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment for an individual in 2025 is $1,206.94 per month. The SSI payment in 2019 covered only 40 percent of the basic cost of living for a senior living alone. In the County of Los Angeles, the SSI individual payment level has not been enough to afford an apartment since 2008. (b) Older adults are at the epicenter of Californias housing affordability and homelessness crisis, with over 40,000 people 55 years of age or older experiencing homelessness. In the four-year period from 2017 to 2021, the number of older Californians, 65 years of age or older, accessing homeless services increased by 138 percent.(c) California is experiencing an extreme housing shortage with an estimate of nearly 1,300,000 affordable units needed to meet the demand for affordable units. At the same time, California has enough unoccupied bedrooms in existing housing units that, if rented out, could address this shortfall.(d) The Master Plan for Aging has a key goal of preventing and ending older adult homelessness as well as expanding housing options for older adults.(e) Home sharing, when people rent out extra rooms in their house or apartment, has great potential to help address Californias housing and homelessness crisis, especially among older adults. Across California, there are dozens of organizations, including many area agencies on aging, that facilitate home sharing. Incentivizing home sharing is a powerful, relatively low-cost way to increase housing supply and address the housing and homelessness crisis, especially among older adults.SEC. 2.Section 1946.5 of the Civil Code is repealed.SEC. 3.SEC. 2. Section 12927 of the Government Code is amended to read:12927.

## The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) Californians who are older or experience disabilities, many of whom live on fixed incomes, face increasing housing cost burdens, with roughly 8 out of 10 extremely low income older renters paying more than one-half of their monthly income on rent. Fair market rents in California for an efficiency range from $770 per month to $3,056 per month, far more than an older adult or adult with a disability on a fixed income can afford, particularly when the maximum Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment for an individual in 2025 is $1,206.94 per month. The SSI payment in 2019 covered only 40 percent of the basic cost of living for a senior living alone. In the County of Los Angeles, the SSI individual payment level has not been enough to afford an apartment since 2008. (b) Older adults are at the epicenter of Californias housing affordability and homelessness crisis, with over 40,000 people 55 years of age or older experiencing homelessness. In the four-year period from 2017 to 2021, the number of older Californians, 65 years of age or older, accessing homeless services increased by 138 percent.(c) California is experiencing an extreme housing shortage with an estimate of nearly 1,300,000 affordable units needed to meet the demand for affordable units. At the same time, California has enough unoccupied bedrooms in existing housing units that, if rented out, could address this shortfall.(d) The Master Plan for Aging has a key goal of preventing and ending older adult homelessness as well as expanding housing options for older adults.(e) Home sharing, when people rent out extra rooms in their house or apartment, has great potential to help address Californias housing and homelessness crisis, especially among older adults. Across California, there are dozens of organizations, including many area agencies on aging, that facilitate home sharing. Incentivizing home sharing is a powerful, relatively low-cost way to increase housing supply and address the housing and homelessness crisis, especially among older adults.
