Why Tax Credits Matter
Since February, CPF and our partners have been working to pass SB 451, a bill to create a state historic tax credit. The bill will increase the supply of affordable housing, support growth through infill development, and encourage property rehabilitation and maintenance in economically depressed areas. There are hundreds of projects that could benefit from SB 451, and we gathered a few stories to show its potential impact in communities across California.

The Sun Sets at the Oasis
It’s often said that good things come in three. For the third time, the California Preservation Foundation was welcomed to the beautiful and vibrant city of Palm Springs. It seems like clockwork that CPF returns to this desert oasis each decade (1999, 2009, and 2019). Each time, the positive, transformative impact of historic preservation becomes more apparent.
