This November, voters in Sonoma and Napa Counties will decide on whether to approve a 20-billion-dollar affordable housing bond. On Wednesday, the Bay Area Housing Financing Authority board unanimously approved putting the measure on the ballot. If approved, the unprecedented bond would pay for the construction and preservation of up to 90-thousand homes across the nine-county Bay Area region. Counties in the North Bay would get a combined two-point-three-five-billion-dollars of the funding. The city of Santa Rosa would get 242-million-dollars and the city of Napa would get 246-million-dollars.
