Overview

Mission

Ca clt action expands community ownership and permanently affordable housing through policy advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2024

Legislative advocacy to support the creation of affordable housing in California. Our contractors and consultants met with legislative staff at the California legislature about legislation related to the property taxation of community land trust properties and legislation affecting nonprofits purchasing homes in foreclosure sales. We also encouraged non profit partners to participate in the legislative advocacy trough emails and template letter. At this time, the legislation we advocated for is yet to become law. However, when it does, it will support the creation of stable affordable homes of hundreds or thousands of California and prevent the displacement of low-income renters in buildings that fall in to foreclosure.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
