Home Is… Creating Change through Collaboration

Much of San Diego Housing Federation’s work is accomplished through committees and work groups which are open to all members. These groups of volunteers and their staff liaisons provide analysis, ideas, and recommendations that are forwarded to the Board of Directors. Frequently, they are tasked with implementing recommendations as well. All Members and staff of member organizations are encouraged to participate in San Diego Housing Federation Committees.

 
 
Policy Committee

The Policy Committee assists in developing and implementing San Diego Housing Federation’s local, state, and federal policy positions.  The Committee also monitors affordable housing programs, local land-use policies, and state and local legislation.

The Committee meets monthly on the second Wednesday of the month from 9 am to 10:30 am. The Board relies on this Committee to vet and recommend policy positions which are forwarded to the Board of Directors for final approval.

On December 21, 2016, the Board of Directors of the San Diego Housing Federation adopted a charter for the SDHF Policy Committee. The purpose of the charter is to establish a formal structure for the committee and a consistent voting membership. 

The Policy Committee is a standing Committee of the Board of Directors and responsible to the Board of Directors.
