Advocacy, Education, and Organizing

The Council of Community Housing Organizations’ housing advocacy is its “in the trenches” work with and on behalf of its member organizations, meeting regularly with affordable housing developers and city staff to ensure the delivery of critical affordable housing resources. This work includes:

• Coalition-building and coordination among CCHO organizations

• Advocacy with the Mayors Office of Housing, advocacy around CDBG funds, and advocacy on State-level funding

• Affordable housing project-specific advocacy

• Campaigns for development agreements and community benefits from large master-planned projects

• Ballot education and campaigns

• Guest lectures, trainings, panel discussions, presentations on affordable housing, and other “popular education” activities to disseminate accurate and substantive information for the public and policymakers about these complex housing issues.
