The Rural Housing Coalition's
network of rural housing professionals work toward a common goal: to design,
develop, finance, rehabilitate, build and manage affordable housing to
meet the diverse needs of rural New Yorkers. Members of our network share
their knowledge and expertise to advance this goal. They include government
leaders and agency staff, housing and community developers, banking industry
professionals, architects, attorneys, regional planners, health and human
services professionals, and others. Together, these housing professionals
form a unified voice advocating for improvements in the quality of life
in rural New York.
The Coalition has considerable
expertise in:
Nonprofit community-based organizational
development & management;
Affordable housing development,
financing and management;
Housing resource development
and grantmanship;
Educational programming &
information dissemination.
