The Voice of San Francisco's Affordable Housing Movement

 We hope that you will join us in our condemnation of hate, and our continued efforts to
provide safe, affordable and quality housing for all San Franciscans. Read our statement here.

 

Housing Justice Toolkit
The solutions to the housing affordability crisis are grounded in our communities. CCHO partnered with Berkeley Media Studies (BMSG) and Bay Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative (BARHII) on a guide for reporters and advocates: Connecting Housing Justice, Health, and Journalism. Check out the 5 recommendations in this toolkit.

Advancing Equity in Housing
We believe that as cities grapple with the complex layering of local and state factors that impact development, displacement, housing, and affordability across diverse neighborhoods and communities, it is critical to articulate an affirmatively advancing fair housing framework that centers the needs of BIPOC residents in all geographies.

Housing Conversation
At the Capital Planning Committee hearing on 7/24, MOHCD identified a $900 million resource gap for its pipeline of housing projects over next 5 years. GO bonds are the most reliable funding source for affordable housing; a $300 million bond is going to voters in March 2024.

 

 

“Since 1978, CCHO has been a stalwart force in the fight for equitable housing in San Francisco. Recognizing the pivotal role they've played for over forty years in creating a brighter future for lower income San Franciscans, I’m eager to continue to work with CCHO to advance our shared goals of safe, accessible, and affordable housing for all.”

— Dan Adams, Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development

“Although we sometimes disagree on San Francisco development policy (oftentimes vigorously), CCHO’s knowledge and expertise on housing issues in San Francisco, make them one of the most influential advocates on housing affordability in San Francisco and are among the most important voice at the table.”
— Eric Tao, AGI Avant
“At Mercy Housing we understand the critical role that CCHO plays, ensuring there is a unified voice at City Hall for the affordable housing movement, and for uplifting a regional vision of environmentally sustainable communities that includes all.”
— Doug Shoemaker, Mercy Housing
“The Council of Community Housing Organizations has been a great home for Young Community Developers as we build our affordable housing development capacity focusing on the City’s African American community. CCHO’s ability to work in wide coalitions has moved some really significant policy. We’re all in!”
— DionJay Brookter, Young Community Developers
 

CCHO represents a coalition of member organizations employing over 3,000 people in the affordable housing workforce. Over the past 43 years the policies, initiatives, and legislation produced and championed by CCHO have led to at least $6.5 billion in funding for over 30,000 units of affordable housing.
