Housing Action Coaltion

We are a member-supported non-profit that advocates for building more homes at all levels of affordability to help alleviate California’s housing shortage, displacement, and affordability crisis.

Our wide-ranging members span 20+ industries including affordable and market-rate home builders, architects and designers, engineers and attorneys, labor unions and public education institutions, nonprofits and urban livability organizations, neighborhood associations, startup and grownup tech companies, businesses of all sizes, and individuals who want to play a part in addressing our region and state’s housing headaches.

While our big tent coalition represents a diverse array of sectors and viewpoints, we all share the common conviction that the key to solving our displacement and affordability problems is building more homes for residents of all income levels.

To that end, HAC’s 501(c)3 educational arm produces programs and resources to educate members, decision-makers, the media, and the general public about how our housing crisis came to be and what it will take to solve it.

Through HAC’s 501(c)4 advocacy arm, we engage and activate our members, partners, and legislative allies to make their voices heard in support of building new homes and enacting pro-housing policies to make it faster, easier, and more affordable to build enough housing for all who need it.
