Mission
To provide technical assistance in affordable housing development to community based housing providers
Program accomplishments
- The Council of Community Housing Organizations (CCHO) has played a vital role in building internal coalition strength to shape local and regional housing policy rooted in community input. Through ongoing coordination among our member groups and regional partners, CCHO has advanced a shared agenda focused on the production, preservation, and protection of affordable housing. Within our coalition, we have built consensus around key priorities such as operating and maintenance funding for affordable housing, operating subsidies for providers serving extremely low-income households, and the preservation of community arts programs within publicly funded housing. Our collective work has led to the development and passage of two major ballot measures expanding local and regional funding for affordable housing production and preservation. We have also engaged in strategic lobbying efforts to secure the adoption of critical policies that protect affordable housing finance and resources. Each year, our Affordable Housing Month events celebrate the successes and shine a light on the ongoing challenges of building and sustaining supportive housing for San Franciscans most in need. At the close of 2024, CCHO convened a strategic retreat to set broad goals for 2024 and 2025, reaffirming our commitment to coalition building and deep community engagement as we develop a comprehensive agenda to address housing insecurity across San Francisco.Expenses $234,687 · grants $1,750
