California Housing Defense Fund

Empowering Californians Through Housing Advocacy

The California Housing Defense Fund (CalHDF) is dedicated to improving the affordability and accessibility of housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and communities of color across California. Through legal advocacy and education, CalHDF ensures compliance with zoning and housing laws, addressing the critical housing shortage in the state.

Making a Lasting Impact

CalHDF actively pursues legal action against cities that fail to approve compliant housing projects, particularly focusing on small developments of 3 to 10 units. By providing free legal aid and educational resources, CalHDF empowers advocates, homeowners, and local officials to navigate the complexities of housing law.

Support the Cause

Your generous donation is vital for sustaining CalHDF's mission. With no statewide agency enforcing housing laws, the work of CalHDF is invaluable. Contributions help fund ongoing legal actions and support the transition of our Legal Fellow into a permanent Staff Attorney.
