SUPPORT OUR SAN FRANCISCO COMMUNITY
The Housing Action Coalition (HAC) is a nonprofit that advocates for building more homes at all levels of affordability to help alleviate the Bay Area and California’s severe housing shortage, displacement, and affordability crisis. They do this by educating, activating, and collaborating with neighbors and decision makers to win approval for building new homes and enact pro-housing reforms to make building faster, easier, and more affordable. Support them this Wednesday at their 15th Annual Spring Symposium to hear Mayors London Breed, Sam Liccardo, and Libby Schaff, and HUD Senior Advisor Richard Cho discuss the Bay Area’s housing challenges and solutions.
