Unaffordable housing, growing income inequality and historical racial inequity put low- and moderate-income Californians—especially those from communities of color—at serious risk of displacement and, in some cases, homelessness.
Some of our key programs include:
- Improving the Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Ecosystem: brings more than 20 years of experience to help mission-driven developers meet the capital, rental subsidy and supportive services needs unique to households exiting homelessness. We also collaborate with policymakers, public agencies, advocates, and community stakeholders to craft and activate solutions designed to improve the ecosystem through preservation and the rehousing process.
- Preserving Affordable Homes: focuses on delivering technical assistance, tools, and data analysis to help developers and public agencies to acquire available small- and medium-sized multifamily properties to preserve affordability and to ensure families remain in their homes, especially in low-income communities of color.
- Creating Community Driven Solutions to Climate Change: improves racial equity and advances community resilience by increasing community-driven holistic design, capital absorption and sustainable housing. This placed-based, capacity building initiative works to ensure low-income residents and communities of color thrive in the face of economic and environmental challenges.
