HOUSING

Goal
Everyone has access to housing that supports their needs and is accessible and affordable regardless of income.

Why It Matters
Housing is a basic need and plays an important role in health, well-being, stability, and community participation. When housing is unaffordable, inaccessible, or difficult to maintain, individuals and families may experience challenges that affect many other areas of life.

What We’re Doing
The Coalition works with community members and partners to:

• Advocate alongside people with lived and living experience of poverty for diverse housing options that meet a range of needs.
• Support affordable housing approaches including below market, rent-geared-to-income housing, portable housing benefits, and rent control policies.
• Advocate for community growth that includes housing options for people across all income levels.
• Encourage and support tenant-focused services and resources that help people maintain their housing.
