The Coastal Housing Coalition is a nonprofit organization based in Santa Barbara, CA, dedicated to finding solutions to the housing crisis on the South Coast. Their mission is to develop a coalition of professionals and stakeholders focused on achieving innovative workforce housing solutions through conferences, education, advocacy, and collaborative interactions between housing developers, regulators, businesses, and the local community. Since its formation in 2005, the Coastal Housing Coalition has been actively addressing the region's critical problem of housing shortage and its impact on the community's economic and environmental well-being. Through research, surveys, and annual housing conferences, they strive to provide statistically reliable information on housing issues, advocate for smart housing policies, and promote the creation of diverse, vibrant, and sustainable communities where the workforce can afford to live and thrive.Generated from the website
