“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.

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!
