Northern California

In Northern California, our team pairs programs and policies with financial tools to create and preserve affordable housing and advance solutions for keeping families with low incomes in their homes and in resource-rich communities for generations to come. We’ve helped create or preserve over 30,000 affordable homes by leveraging over $2.6 billion in capital across the region.

Central Valley Housing Initiatives: Creates policy solutions to produce and preserve affordable housing and provide tenant protection
Homekey: Supports a statewide program to buy and rehab hotels and other properties to convert into supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness
HOPE SF: Revitalizes public housing without resident displacement and creates inclusive, mixed-income communities
Preservation: Prevents resident displacement and stabilizes communities by creating effective tools and policies to acquire and rehabilitate unsubsidized affordable housing
