HOUSING FOR ALL.SAN DIEGO’S VOICE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING2023Impact Report
We all deserve a safe and stable place to live and thrive. “Housing for ALL” is a statement of our values. A mission that we work to achieve through our collective voices and efforts. No person should sleep on the street. No child should feel stigmatized by their home or neighborhood environment. No parent should have to make a choice between paying the rent or paying for groceries.In January of this year, the City of San Diego laid down a marker expressing our civic values. By unanimous vote, our City Council declared its “support for the right to housing as a fundamental human right,” and reaffirmed its “commitment to providing more housing and services geared toward putting a roof over the head of every San Diegan.” When we think about the kind of city and region we want to be, the City Council’s sentiments should be the floor for our ambitions. While recognizing such an enormous task ahead for all of us, we know it’s achievable – especially with all your support.In these pages you will see our impact, reach, and growth over the last year. None of this is possible without your meaningful action and support.

HOUSING FOR ALL.4 | SAN DIEGO HOUSING FEDERATION POLICY & ADVOCACYIn 2023, the San Diego Housing Federation made significant strides in advancing its mission to address affordable housing challenges. One key initiative was the establishment of essential feedback mechanisms. The organization introduced a policy proposal intake form to gather insights from members on legislative solutions within the affordable housing sector. A Regulatory Member Input form was also created to collect feedback on housing agencies falling under the Treasurer’s office or the Governor’s leadership. These initiatives aimed to ensure diverse perspectives and expertise contributed to the policymaking process.Active participation in the Home Builder’s Alliance PROTECTexpanded the organization's political connections statewide and in Sacramento. In a collaborative effort with organizations and advocates across California, our coalition played a pivotal role in strengthening support for bills progressing through the Legislature. We achieved a 42% increase in our legislative support of items before the Legislature. This unified effort proved instrumental in successfully passing significant housing bills, exemplified by the passage of SB 4. This groundbreaking legislation allows for affordable housing development on faith-based institutions, marking a substantial step forward in addressing housing challenges.
