Its mission is to prevent homelessness and to increase the supply of decent, safe, accessible and permanently affordable homes for the homeless and very low-income Californians. false false 596778 Amplify Organizational Impact though Multi-Sector Coalitions and NetworksHousing California believes that many of the greatest opportunities for funding and policy change lie at the intersection of housing and other social issues, including criminal justice, health care, climate change, transportation, education and child welfare. The Organization works diligently to bring non-housing groups into its work, educate them about the role housing affordability and homelessness plays as an aid or hindrance for the goals they are trying to achieve, and engage them as housing justice advocates. In 2017, Housing California played a key role in uniting non-traditional partners through coalitions and networks to learn from each other and identify actions to heal historically broken relationships and collectively advance broader social equity and environmental justice solutions, including poverty, climate change, health, displacement, homelessness and incarceration. During 2017, Housing California grew the leadership capacity of, and infrastructure for, the Residents United Network (RUN), a statewide network of affordable development resident leaders who drive change through their stories and collective action; organized a RUN Statewide Summit, two sets of regional leadership development and capacity building meetings, multi-pronged social media efforts and multiple in-district and capitol visits to key legislators from across the state. The Organization also organized the largest and most successful Housing California conference to-date with almost 1,500 registrations and seventy-six workshops. 307859 Inform and Advance PolicyHousing California uses its relationships and partnerships to advance policy relating to building healthy communities by focusing on three areas: housing funding; homelessness policy; and land use. The Organization continually seeks ways to address the structural problems driving high housing costs in California through: tax policy; local control; tenant protections and development challenges. As the foremost, statewide voice for housing, homelessness and related issues, Housing California builds on its expertise by connecting housing to other issues such as: climate change; health care; and incarceration. During 2017, the collective action of Housing California and its partners resulted in the passage of housing-related bills, including: - The first ever permanent source of funding to build affordable homes, providing $250-300 million annually (SB2).- A $4 billion bond measure, the largest affordable housing bond ever, which will be on the November 2018 ballot that will leverage up to $15 billion (SB3).- The Palmer Fix - an inclusionary zoning bill that furthers the development of equitable, inclusive communities (AB 1505).- A rental assistance program to help end chronic homelessness Housing for a Healthy CA (AB 74).Housing California also began initial planning for the 2018 Veterans and Affordable Housing Bond Campaign; participated in the Make it Fair campaign steering committee to reform Proposition 13 by reassessing commercial property at market value to generate approximately $11 billion in revenue for the State of California; protected and extended state climate and Cap-and-Trade bills through co-leading the Sustainable Communities for All coalition; helped create and advance the implementation of the No Place Like Home Program that will secure bond revenue to generate over $10 billion for supportive housing; and created a shared agenda with affordable housing, homelessness and tenant protector advocates, both at the statewide and grassroots level. 176944 Communication StrategiesHousing is a tremendously complex topic, making it difficult to craft a comprehensive message. Housing California must first convey the various ways that housing policy can deliver tangible public benefits, thereby increasing public demand for change. The Organization articulates problems and prescribes solutions. Activities during 2017 included: - Placement of approximately forty radio, print and TV earned media placements across the state, including authoring/co-authoring three Op-Eds published on key topics and 7 interviews.- The Executive Director engaged in a public relations tour with visits to San Francisco, the East Bay, San Diego, and Los Angeles to meet developers, homeless service providers, legislators and local policymakers, building trades, residents and other community leaders.- Convened a statewide Housing Communications Task Force in partnership with the California Housing Consortium bringing together more than twenty advocates, developers, legislative staff, and communication experts to create shared messaging and tools.- Presented at many regional state and national convenings including, but not limited to: the National Alliance of Community Economic Development Associations national convening; San Diego Housing Federation and CCRH Regional Convenings; the Stewards for Affordable Housing event at The California Endowment on Health, Housing and Toxic Stress; Funders for Housing and Opportunity; CHC Hall of Fame Awards; and Innovative Models on Health and Housing.- Played a leadership role at several press conferences including: Moderator at Assemblys press conference to advance the Go Big and Bold Affordable Housing Board Campaign; Only Housing Advocate chosen to speak at the Governors signing ceremony of the affordable housing package legislative signing session on September 29, 2017.The Organizations primary means of communication include its website www.housingca.org, newsletter (8,083 subscribers), Facebook followers (1,889 followers and 1,895 likes) and Twitter followers (3,661 followers). 1081581 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false true 11 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 21 20 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Lisa Hershey 9164470503 1107 9th Street Suite 560 Sacramento CA 95814 Zelenne Cardenas Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kirk Allen Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Collisaw Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Chione Flegal Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Elissa Dennis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Murtaza Baxamusa Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rich Gross Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Greenlee Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alfred Diaz-Infant Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arnulfo Manriquez Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Stanley Keasling Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amie Fishman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joan Ling Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Hershey Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 111020 0 0 Rachelle Reyes-Wenger Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fernando Gaytan Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Ornelas Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Ropelato Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sharon Rapport President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Russell Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tunua Thrash-Ntuk Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 111020 1 false false false 0 63310 998251 1061561 Conference registrations 611600 423470 423470 423470 5057 5057 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1490088 423470 5057 X 0 0 0 0 111020 96020 10000 5000 0 353051 293799 41048 18204 13128 11028 1444 656 37608 31591 4137 1880 41097 34521 4521 2055 0 0 28908 28908 9500 9500 0 0 169609 169609 0 49599 41664 5456 2479 0 0 57901 48636 6369 2896 70037 58832 7704 3501 0 285130 284330 549 251 0 0 1525 1282 168 75 4238 3560 466 212 Printing and Publications 7671 6443 844 384 Postage and Shipping 317 266 35 16 0 1240339 1081581 111649 47109 0 186892 318134 205000 337250 0 0 0 200000 200000 0 26097 26149 46146 43330 4341 2816 0 0 0 0 11049 8842 633379 893191 60370 70433 60370 70433 X 328100 366161 244909 456597 573009 822758 633379 893191 249749 X false true X true false X 786702 1065713 792265 1132506 1061561 4838747 0 0 786702 1065713 792265 1132506 1061561 4838747 2375849 2462898 3171 3585 3742 4858 5057 20413 0 2800 2800 4861960 0.50660 0.47170 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 56774 56774 1024807 1081581 183158 45790 false 189808 185055 183917 183158 741938 1112907 61706 16207 7985 56774 142672 47452 46264 45979 45790 185485 278228 22617 21182 1435 23529 22148 1381 2816 1490088 1490088 1490088 1240339 1240339 1240339 RCAC Board member 200000 Note receivable false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information Note receivable as of December 31, 2017, consists of one $200,000 promissory note dated May 14, 2014, from Rural Community Assistance Corporation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation.
