About
We’re a diverse, statewide coalition of advocates and organizations…
with a proven record of creating affordable housing, fighting homelessness, defending tenants’ rights, and advancing racial justice. We are unifying our energy and influence in order to achieve bold, structural change to create the future we all want for California–one where everyone can afford a home and homelessness is nonexistent.
Leadership
With the leadership of Housing California and California Housing Partnership, we work toward our goals by centering racial equity and drawing on the expertise of a growing group of partners across our state.
