WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY:

“HAC is a truly great housing organization that does excellent work to advance sensible housing solutions. I’m proud to be a founding HAC member because its advocacy efforts and housing expertise have been invaluable in supporting the provision of additional housing as a long-term goal in San Francisco and, in particular, my firm’s recent development goals. Whether pushing for enormous projects like Treasure Island, supporting good housing legislation like SB 35, or advocating for individual housing projects, HAC has always exceeded our expectations.”

Oz Erickson

Principal/Chairman, Emerald Fund

“California’s future depends on more housing, both to solve the homelessness crisis and to have a robust equitable economy. The solution is a both/and push forward on every slice of the housing pie—a push the Housing Action Coalition has led for more than 20 years.”

David Baker

Founding Principal, David Baker Architects

“Being part of HAC has been game-changing for us. We belong to many coalitions and membership organizations in housing, and I can honestly say that HAC really gets us. They consciously, uniquely, and directly always include “affordable homeownership” in all of their advocacy efforts and initiatives. They fight side by side with us in our efforts to build and sustain 100% affordable homeownership. HAC has been a resource to us and so many of our colleagues throughout California and we’re deeply grateful.”

Maureen Sedonaen

CEO, Board Chair, Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco, Habitat California

“We know everyone has a role to play in addressing the housing crisis and we appreciate the Housing Action Coalition’s leadership in advocating for high-impact solutions.”
