Prop 5 empowers local voters to approve bonds for affordable housing, critical public infrastructure, and emergency response in our communities with a 55% vote – if those bonds have strict accountability and oversight.

<h2>Prop 5 Requires Strict Accountability and Oversight for Local Bonds</h2>Too often, California’s efforts to address our housing and infrastructure needs have failed to deliver.&nbsp; Under Prop 5, local housing and infrastructure bonds must include strict accountability, oversight, and transparency provisions to help ensure programs deliver results, including:<ul><li>A clear list of the types of projects to be funded</li><li>Strict conflict-of-interest checks for local officials involved in the bonds</li><li>Oversight by an independent citizens’ oversight committee</li><li>Independent performance and financial audits of all spending that must be 1) posted publicly, and 2) reviewed by the State Auditor</li></ul>

<h2>Prop 5 gives local voters more power to address the affordable housing and public infrastructure needs in their communities.</h2>California voters strongly support building housing that is affordable for low- and middle-income families and developing the public infrastructure needed to support new housing, like roads and transit, water, and fire stations. But state law currently restricts the ability of local voters to approve local housing and public infrastructure bonds for their communities.Prop 5 empowers local voters to approve bonds for affordable housing, critical public infrastructure, and emergency response in our communities with a 55% vote – if those bonds have strict accountability and oversight.

By giving our communities more power to choose how to address their unique needs, Prop 5 shifts decisions about public policy and spending priorities away from state government and into the hands of local voters and taxpayers.

Put a short introduction to your list here

Our state is facing increasingly serious challenges:

<h2>Prop 5 Protects Your Local Tax Dollars</h2>Prop 5 requires all local housing and infrastructure bond funds to be spent locally to benefit only the cities and counties that approve the bonds – not other communities. And Prop 5 limits bonded indebtedness for local jurisdictions, providing another layer of protection for taxpayers.Prop 5 does not raise taxes.&nbsp; It simply gives local voters and taxpayers more authority to address their local affordable housing and infrastructure needs on their terms, without having to rely on the state.&nbsp;
