Venice community housing

Venice Community Housing (VCH), a community-based, nonprofit organization, supports and builds equitable and inclusive communities by providing affordable housing with supportive services, education, employment programs, and public policy advocacy With housing development as its core service, VCH believes that we must challenge the root causes of housing injustice and homelessness, and actively confront all forms of racism, in order to ensure equitable communities with access to healthy, safe, and affordable homes for all Just as it is important for low-income and unhoused people to have access to stable housing, it is also important that our Westside communities be inclusive and restore access for communities of color that have been forcibly removed We unite our community with passion and commitment to equity

Currently, VCH is engaged in a variety of housing and community development programs, owning and managing 252 units of affordable and supportive housing, and an additional 28 units of short-term housing, with a $5 6m annual operating budget As part of a nationwide focus on the crisis of homelessness and housing affordability, VCH is in a growth phase with an additional 500 units in the pre development/construction stages Our vision is that our compassionate approach to these solutions will serve as a model to other communities across the country
