Brian Hanlon is the CEO of California YIMBY, a non-profit whose mission is to make California an affordable place to live, work, and raise a family. As well as being every NIMBY's worst nightmare, he is a committed environmentalist with a long history of advocacy and is a genuinely lovely person to chat with.

I highly recommend the report that California YIMBY released on homelessness that Brian mentions: https://cayimby.org/housing-first/ 

You can read more about California YIMBY on their website: https://cayimby.org. They maintain an excellent catalog of research on Housing policy on their website at: https://cayimby.org/research/
