How Affordable, Accessible Housing Changed Their Family’s Life
Established in 2008, the Southern California Housing Collaborative (SCHC) was created in response to a survey conducted by the Foundation for Developmental Disabilities, which identified affordable housing as one of the greatest challenges faced by adult consumers of the San Diego Regional Center. Our primary mission is to locate and secure affordable housing opportunities for low-income individuals with developmental disabilities. We have developed relationships with both for-profit and nonprofit organizations that specialize in developing and operating affordable housing projects. SCHC also considers each individual’s needs, including proximity to public transportation, grocery stores, and employment, when identifying suitable housing opportunities.
Our residents share how living in our community has impacted their lives.
