Coachella Valley Housing Coalition

The Mission of the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition (CVHC), a nonprofit community development corporation founded in 1982, is to improve the living conditions of low-income individuals and families by constructing and operating affordable housing infused with community services programs and other opportunities that enrich, build & grow their lives.

Coachella Valley Housing Coalition (CVHC) is a community development corporation serving farmworkers, their families, and other low-income residents (such as seniors, veterans, and individuals with chronic illnesses) in distressed rural and desert communities from Riverside to Imperial Counties. CVHC engages in three key activities: (1) develop and manage multi-family affordable rental housing and community-serving infrastructure; (2) provide a mutual self-help homeownership program including homebuyer education, credit counseling, technical assistance, and construction supervision; and (3) engage residents to plan and provide community-serving programs to promote health, well-being, and education.

Since its founding in 1982, CVHC has developed more than 2,827 units of affordable rental housing including California's first affordable housing complex for retired farmworkers and helped 2124 families build and purchase their own single-family homes through a culturally relevant self-help homeownership program
