Overview
Mission
The coastal housing coalition seeks to educate the community about housing issues on the central California coast, including population and job growth, density, social and lifestyle trends and housing affordability and availability.
What it reported doing in 2025
The organization continued planning for its biennial housing conference for the community, conducted housing awareness and relationship building efforts, participated in local housing policy discussions throughout the local jurisdictions, evaluated and supported proposed housing projects to the degree they were providing workforce housing, and held a number of community mixers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
