At a time when shelter is more starkly a matter of life and death than ever before, The Casita Coalition is charging ahead with efforts to level the playing field of housing options for all Californians. The new nonprofit was formed to improve housing choice and inclusion in all California neighborhoods through small housing forms (Accessory Dwelling Units/ADUs, granny flats, duplexes). Within just six months of receiving startup funding of $400,000 from The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, The Casita Coalition was awarded $200,000 from The James Irvine Foundation and $100,000 from The San Francisco Foundation in June. The grant funds will support the nonprofit’s vision of creating more inclusive communities and improving housing choices for all California families.
