The Sonoma County Housing Coalition is a non-profit broad based coalition of housing interests working to provide housing for the low and moderate income people of Sonoma County in all nine cities and towns. They realize that affordable housing is a key element of sustainable development, jobs and quality of life. Initiatives include housing policy, advocacy, finance and land use. Now in its tenth year, Affordable Housing week begins May 10th through May 16th with their Annual Meeting Breakfast, Housing Hero Award and presentation of the Regional Sonoma County Housing Report. The morning’s events include a panel discussion by community leaders (now being confirmed) that lend discussion to issues and challenges in securing affordable housing for the citizens of Sonoma County. Events during the week include presentations to the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, existing examples of housing open house and tours as well as workshops to include educating the public on securing affordable housing. As we work with elected officials, local coalitions and housing groups, business and developers to create the metric by which our communities are accountable, the Sonoma County Housing Coalition Housing Progress Reports are the reflection of current and past efforts measuring progress for goals designed to meet or exceed 2014 *ABAG Allocations.
"Sonoma County Housing Coalition, sponsor of Affordable Housing Week, is a group of over 100 housing interests working year-round to provide housing for low and moderate income County residents."
