What We're Working On
Building Local Chapters
Change starts with people coming together. We create local Joining Forces chapters to strengthen community voices and build local power.
Through these chapters, residents and partners can learn, connect, and take action to help shape the future of housing in their communities. |
Educating the Community
Our FREE Housing Unlocked 101 workshops provide the tools, data, and resources to get you started in understanding the housing crisis and to take the next step toward action.
Interested in bringing a free, facilitated workshop to your community? Email [email protected] to schedule. |
Building Partnerships
We partner with countywide coalition groups like Housing Lake and Live Well Lake County to strengthen collaboration, share resources, and advance solutions that expand housing opportunities across Lake County.

Data That Tells the Story of Housing in Your Community
Understanding the problem is the first step toward creating change.
Our Affordable Housing Report Cards use local data to help residents better understand housing challenges in their communities, including who is struggling to afford housing and what solutions can make a difference.
Each report highlights local data showing who is struggling to afford housing in their community and presents key solutions that can help address these challenges. Our policy glossary explains six key housing policies to support housing affordability and how we assess their potential impact.
