Our Story
The San Joaquin Valley Housing Collaborative is a non-profit organization formed as a regional body to address housing issues in the eight county region of the San Joaquin Valley. The Collaborative not only serves as a forum to discuss the Valley’s long and short term housing goals, it also serves as an invaluable tool for the region to organize as one voice when communicating with state and federal policy makers and regulatory agencies. This organization is an unprecedented forum for our region to work together in addressing the effects of the foreclosure crisis. Additionally, the recent loss of redevelopment agencies has precipitated increased dialogue among stakeholders about permanent funding sources for affordable housing. While there are many challenges, there is opportunity to leverage resources and facilitate new, innovative partnerships for promoting affordable housing through the San Joaquin Valley Housing Collaborative and its partners.
Formed in 2005 following an Executive Order by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the San Joaquin Valley Housing Collaborative was originally started as the Housing Work Group of the San Joaquin Valley Partnership. Since then, the organization has formed its own 501(3)c non-profit and has received staff support from the California Coalition for Rural Housing (CCRH) and previously Fresno State’s Office of Community and Economic Development.
