1/2 No matter the highs or the lows, our region continues to build a path forward. We stand committed to do whatever it takes to make the Coachella Valley an affordable and beautiful place for everyone who calls it home.

Our coalition is building thousands of new affordable homes.

The US faces a huge shortage of affordable homes— but the land, funds, and knowledge to address it exist! We need to continue working together to build more housing everyone can afford. 🏠💜 www.lincolninst.edu/publications...

This is a great opportunity to let Riverside County know that we NEED more affordable housing! 🏡 Take 10 minutes to fill out the survey and help shape our community 🫶🏽

We're part of a coalition urging our representatives in Congress to work with their colleagues and the Trump administration to stop proposed cuts to federal funding that would harm residents’ health and access to affordable housing. Find out more and read our letter at lifttorise.org/news

Cuts to affordable housing, essential community services, and programs for low-income residents would harm Riverside County. We’re calling on @repraulruizmd.bsky.social ,
@alexpadilla4ca.bsky.social,
@adamschiff.com, to keep this vital funding!

Tell Congress 1) They must maintain federal funding for affordable housing and community programs that help people in Riverside County thrive. 2) Funds for the HOME, CDBG, and ESG programs help communities pay for basic needs like housing, & health services & support seniors, children, & families.

We believe:
🏡 A safe, stable home is the foundation of health, opportunity, and a thriving future.

🧡 Everyone deserves a place to call home, no matter who they are.

🤝🏽 Affordable housing options grow and rent costs drop when we unite across sectors and communities to increase housing production.

“Rather than depletion, we find fullness among the easily despised and readily left out. Our wholeness increases when we accompany the demonized and the disposable, so that the demonizing ends..”

"Consultant Adam Fowler noted that while Palm Springs has strong brand recognition and robust airport infrastructure, rising housing costs create obstacles for service workers and young professionals"

The dual elements of this new perspective are that *systems change matters as much as scale* and that *community voice is critical to effective community development.*
