How you help
Venice Community Housing has a variety of volunteer opportunities ranging from regular on-going projects to one-time experiences.
About us
Founded by local community members in 1988, Venice Community Housing has been developing lasting, neighborhood-based solutions for low-income families and individuals for over 28 years. We own, and manage 216 units of non-profit affordable housing, both transitional and permanent throughout Venice, Mar Vista, and Del Rey. We also provide comprehensive supportive programs including job training, youth development, life-skills coaching, and family services to help people regain or retain their self-reliance. Our non-profit, permanent affordable housing helps people whose wages haven’t kept pace with rents in their own neighborhoods. And for the most vulnerable who can’t make it without help, we provide permanent housing with supportive services that allows them to live with dignity.
Wraparound services & permanent supportive housing are key to getting our most vulnerable into housing.
I was so excited to join Venice Community Housing today at one of their newest buildings in Venice to learn more about their incredibly successful model. Leading the way 👏🏼👏🏼
In this op-ed co-authored by Cindy Wu of @LISCBayArea, housing advocates claim that Berkeley tenants need this chance now more than ever. A shortage of affordable homes and rent debt have destabilized renters and inequitably impacted BIPOC tenants. https://bit.ly/berkab919
Former Oakland tenant, Shannon Way, says a bill like AB919 would have made all the difference when the building she was a tenant in went up for sale.

Thank you to @Ash_Kalra for introducing this game-changing bill. #AB919, The Stable Homes Act (TOPA/COPA), is supported by a diverse, statewide coalition of 72 organizations
