History and Activities
The Florida Housing Coalition is a coalition of organizations that promotes affordable housing, including by providing technical assistance and consultation services to homelessness-advocacy nonprofits. The FHC promotes housing affordability and stability as methods to decrease homelessness. It does this by advocating for increased housing development in Florida, helping partners access funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), advocating for the alteration of land use regulations, and helping partners prepare for “disasters and other climate impacts” by implementing resiliency and energy efficiency initiatives into housing programs. 1 5 6 7 4
