ACHRAs

ACHRA stands for the Association of Community Housing Redevelopment Agencies. It is an organization representing a network of public housing authorities and community development agencies in California. ACHRA's primary mission is to advocate for affordable housing and community development initiatives within the state. They work to influence policy at local, state, and federal levels, aiming to ensure that adequate resources and supportive regulations are in place for their member agencies.

The association provides a platform for its members to share best practices, collaborate on common challenges, and engage in professional development. ACHRA engages in legislative advocacy, research, and public awareness campaigns to highlight the critical role that public housing and community development play in addressing homelessness, economic inequality, and community revitalization. They serve as a collective voice for a sector dedicated to providing safe, affordable housing and fostering vibrant, inclusive communities for low-income residents across California. Membership typically includes housing authorities, redevelopment agencies, and other public bodies involved in housing and community development.
