Our volunteers speak up for fair, abundant, affordable housing in California.
Each city is assigned a unique number of new homes they must plan for in the next eight years (their Regional Housing Needs Allocation).
We need volunteers to make sure the cities make realistic, equitable plans, that create homes for all!
We work with housing organizations and advocates throughout California. Check out what’s happening in your city.
Organizing on a regional level is an effective approach to build political will and keep cities accountable. Learn about local organizers, upcoming public meetings, and city data.
Housing Elements envision what housing will look like in a city’s future
California communities lay a policy roadmap to provide housing for current and future residents in a document called a Housing Element. Cities create Housing Elements as part of their overall General Plan for the future of the city.
Watch or read an explainer about Housing Elements.
Fair Housing Elements promote inclusive housing
Cities use zoning and land use laws to reinforce segregation in our neighborhoods. The Campaign for Fair Housing Elements advocates for cities to actively plan for diverse housing options that are accessible to people of all backgrounds and income levels using the principles of Fair Housing.
