Andrew Becker

Candidate for City Council Member, Antioch, District 4 · Housing Development Consultant

Andrew Becker works as a housing development consultant and has become one of Antioch's most visible grassroots voices on housing and homelessness policy. He is a regular speaker at Antioch City Council meetings, where he has pressed the city to steer new development toward housing affordable to low-income residents rather than only moderate-income units, and residents have credited him as among the first to alert city officials to opportunities under the state's Homekey program for converting properties into housing for people experiencing homelessness. He has continued to weigh in publicly as the city has debated its HomeKey+ affordable-housing plans and regional coordination on homelessness response.

Andrew Becker has built a public record almost entirely around Antioch's housing and homelessness policy. Speaking regularly at council meetings, he has questioned proposed developments for including too few units affordable to low-income residents even as the city faces high need in that income band, and has urged the city to pursue regional collaboration on projects like HomeKey+, a state program that funds converting properties into housing paired with services for people experiencing homelessness. Residents and local coverage credit him as an early voice alerting city officials to the original Homekey program's potential for Antioch.
