Policy and Advocacy

This year the Sonoma County Housing Coalition collaborated with 37 Sonoma County businesses and nonprofit organizations in presenting the Week’s 11 events, which included the 5/11/09 Leadership Breakfast, the 5/15/09 Housing Coalition Annual Meeting and Luncheon, numerous workshops, site tours, and activities throughout our community.

Media outreach included North Bay Business Journal and The Press Democrat advertising, editorials and listings in local press and online, as well as KZST/KJZY radio and KTVU television interviews regarding Affordable Housing Week events and housing issues.

The County of Sonoma and each of the nine Sonoma County cities and townships issued proclamations recognizing the importance of this issue for our county’s residents.

At the Leadership Breakfast the Housing Coalition honored Craig Meltzner of Craig S. Meltzner & Associates as the 2009 Housing Hero for his significant, long-term contributions and personal commitment to providing affordable housing in Sonoma County. Craig has been involved in creating over 2,000 affordable housing units for our community’s residents over the past 25 years.
