Our Action Plan

Lift together so that all Coachella Valley residents rise.

The Coachella Valley is a study in contrasts. On the surface we see a region of extraordinary beauty and extensive natural resources, a favorite gathering spot for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Often unseen, the reality is that most people in the Valley never experience the opulence and luxury for which the area is known.

We have a plan to change this. Our Action Plan addresses the underlying causes and consequences of poverty in the Coachella Valley by uplifting our region’s story, building local strength, and working to instigate change.

Through collaboration with community partners and extensive data analysis, we’ve identified the following two areas of focus: housing stability and economic opportunity. Our goals are ambitious—reducing the number of rent burdened Coachella Valley households by 30% over the next ten years by increasing the supply of affordable housing, changing local policies, and increasing regional investment. At the same time, we’re piloting two innovative “stabilizing” strategies, and working with partners to build a comprehensive continuum of “stabilizing" supports. 

We can only successfully confront these challenges together—we need your help.

It’s time to increase housing stability and economic opportunities for all Coachella Valley families.

I support the Action Plan and am ready to help Coachella Valley residents rise.
