Proposition 41, also known as Prop 41 and Veterans Housing and Homeless Prevention Bond, was a California ballot proposition intended to approve California to give $600 million in bonds for housing for veterans and families of veterans and to use money from the state's General Fund to pay off any debt from the bonds.[1][2][3] The proposition classified "low-income" as "those who earn less than 80 percent of average family income, as adjusted by family size and county." It was on the ballot as a bond issue and passed in the June 2014 California elections.[4][5] Opponents of the proposition included the Green Party of California,[6] California Tea Party Groups[7] and the California Federation of Republican Women.[8] Supporters of the proposition included Governor Jerry Brown, Mark Wyland, Marty Block, the California Democratic Party and the California Republican Party.[4]
