Welcome from Treasurer Fiona Ma
I am proud and honored to serve you as California’s 34th State Treasurer. Every day I am fighting hard on your behalf for shared prosperity for all, as is my dedicated team at the State Treasurer’s Office. We are focused on sound investing that safeguards public funds, expands jobs, improves education, and helps combat climate change.
Your Input is Sought to Fix the Affordable Housing Gap
The State Treasurer’s Office (STO) is focused on providing more affordable housing in California. Shaped by a sense of urgent necessity and personal priority, we immediately created a forum for the STO and affordable housing stakeholders to connect and engage with a statewide “Affordable Housing Listening Tour.”
Nurturing Our Budding Cannabis Industry
Helping cannabis businesses establish secure footholds in the now legal adult-use recreational market is a critical focus for Treasurer Ma. She wants to offer these businesses the same fair chance to succeed any start-up industry would receive. So she has been working with legislators to reduce financial stressors that can inhibit the new industry’s growth.
