WHO WE ARE

The Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition is a member-driven organization. Members lead the organization through service on our board of directors and/or our committees and by attending our monthly community meetings and our annual meeting, held each September.

​

Members lead our organization. We have two types of membership - individual and organizational. Sliding-scale memberships are available to individuals. Our mission requires a diverse, large collection of voices and perspectives. Members, as represented by the Board of Directors, determine the advocacy positions that the Coalition will undertake. Membership dues fuel our work. Members receive education and action ideas that make us stronger advocates for housing justice. Members are also represented in public discussion and policy decisions by our executive director.

​

Board members are elected by voting members at the annual meeting, and can serve two three-year terms. According to our bylaws, some board members can serve more than two consecutive terms, in the case that they represent one of our local housing/shelter service providers. Each JCAHC member, with the exception of current elected officials, has one vote at our annual meeting.

PARTNERS FOR BETTER HOUSING

  • We support and create community-based partnerships in leveraging resources and advocating for policies, programs, and use of funding resources that maximize the availability and improve the quality of affordable housing in Johnson County.

  • The Coalition has made a commitment not to compete with our fellow nonprofits for city and county funding. We do this so that local tax dollars can be invested directly into critical, ongoing services that address residents’ basic needs.

LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORT

  • Everyone, including businesses, benefit from our efforts! Having available and affordable housing allows employers to attract and retain diverse employees at all levels.

  • Our work directly benefits residents who earn 80% or less of the area's median income, many of whom are customers and clients of local businesses.

  • Sponsorship opportunities are available for local businesses who support the Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition’s mission of increasing access to affordable housing throughout Johnson County, and commit to helping the Coalition achieve this goal.
