hurries to pass stopgap measures to prevent another government shutdown, immigration is one of the key issues attached to the budget deal that has the left and the right butting heads.president trump has offered a path to citienship for one point eight million immigrants, but in exchange wants 25 billion dollars for border security - including his proposed border wall."if we don't change it let's have a shutdown,we'll do a shutdown, it's worth it for our country, i'd love to see a shutdown if we don't get this stuff taken care of."because democrats oppose limiting legal immigration, the president's proposal hasn't gotten much traction.chief of staff john kelly says the one point eight million immigrants mentioned in trump's proposal include those who were, quote, "too lazy" to ever sign up for daca protection.democrats were quick to pounce, saying they doubt the administration's promise not to start deporting illegal daca recipients without a criminal record. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell thinks the president's proposal should gain traction."i'm honestly shocked that the other side didn't say sign me up."leading

democrats say they want the 690-thousand people covered under daca to get citizenship under the immigration deal.the white house doesn't plan on extending the march fifth deadline...in order to keep pressure on congress to get an immigration bill passed."we have a system that is not lawful. we have a system that has a lot of legal loopholes and has a very large national security concern. we want to address it completely."with or without an immigration deal attached, the president would have to sign a budget deal of some sort by thursday night at midnight to prevent another shutdown.(flashcam)in response to kelly's comments about immigrants being too lazy to sign up for daca, immigration experts say those immigrants often either didn't know about daca, or couldn't pay the fees to sign up.in the newsroom, spencer blake, kron four news. <

affordable housing in the bay area . federal housing statistics estimate ... 12 - million renters and homeowners ... now pay more than 50- percent of their annual income for housing. bay area cities know this crisis all too well ... and in emeryville ... there's a brand new development where rents are a bargain. but as kron 4's philipp djegal explains ... you have to qualify to get in. welton jordan/nats- "87 units. you'll probably have four to five hundred people living here." four years... and countless hours of tough negotiations between more than a dozen agencies later... and, now desperately needed affordable housing is coming to the city of emeryville construction on estrella vista on san pablo avenue began in june... a 64-million dollar project.

and, the apartment complez should be ready to start housing families the summer of 20-19.welton jordan/nats- "for this building, we'll probably have thousands of applicants, of which we can only house 87." welton jordan is vice president of real estate development for e-a-h housing. a non-profit affordable housing developer... managing more than 100- properties in the bay area... estrella vista is their latest project. and, the best part of this project when it's all finished... is that all of the units inside -- will be considered 100- percent affordable housing. ally medina/vice mayor- "that means that people making 30 to 60-percent of the area median income will be able to afford to live here, and the rent will be based on their salary and income." the area median income for a family of four in alameda county is 97,400 dolllars. emeryville vice mayor ally medina says 70-percent of her city is made up of renters -- and she's one of them.ally medina/vice mayor- "even though the city of emeryville was able to give the land and a loan of four and a half million dollars, we would not be able to make this project happen by ourselves. we were really appreciative of our partners." one of those partners -- being the city of

oakland... a fitting collaboration since the new development sits on the border of both cities.michele byrd/dir. oak housing/comm. dev.- "the city of oakland provided about pretty much four to five million dollars, and that way, we'll have 30 units dedicated to oakland residents." michele byrd is director of housing and community development for the city of oakland. she says in addition to the estrella vista project... the city has received 16 new applications from developers to build more affordable housing.michele byrd/dir. oak housing/comm. dev.- "and, we're looking at hopefully over the next three to five years, with those 16 applications, to build about 15-hundred units of affordable housing." in 20-11, a state supreme court ruling resulted in the elimination of all 400 california redevelopment agencies... which typically funded affordable housing projects. losing r-d-a's puts more of a burden on developers like e-a-h housing to secure funding for these projects. often developers rely on the state density bonus law to expand projects and build more units. the density bonus law is a state housing mandate that allows developers who

qualify to skirt zoning ordinances and increase a project's density by up to 30-percent, if a certain amount of the building is set aside for affordable housing. welton jordan/eah housing- "it probably allowed us to go an extra story up." and a few extra units here and a few extra units there may not sound like a lot... but with the bay area experiencing a housing crisis... every little bit counts. philippe djegal, kron four news.
