Housing Santa Cruz County

Housing Santa Cruz County is made up of individuals, nonprofit and for-profit businesses, service providers, homelessness organizations and advocates, agriculture leaders, faith-based organizations, labor leaders, financial institutions, housing professionals (architects, contractors) sustainable community leaders (transportation, environment, health, education and energy professionals) nonprofit and for-profit housing developers, local government staff and elected officials, and community leaders. We are dedicated to making Santa Cruz County affordable for all. With so many more members of our community at risk due to the pandemic, the wildfires, and the broader impacts of climate change, the coalition has determined that now is the time to do something to address the housing crisis in Santa Cruz County. Together, our coalition has built the leadership and organizational structure needed to catalyze and align political and community will to create the housing, particularly affordable housing, that Santa Cruz County needs to grow and thrive.
