ISCHC drives impact through advocacy, partnerships, education, and innovative housing solutions.
Our Collective Priorities are grounded within our working pillars.
Advocates for local, state, and federal policies that expand affordable housing opportunities in the Inland Empire, including funding programs.
Support housing stability through wealth-building strategies that expand financial access and strengthen household resources across the region. Through this work, the BankOn Inland SoCal Coalition increases access to safe, affordable bank and credit union accounts for residents.
Develop and explore innovative housing strategies, projects and programs that increase the housing supply and affordability in the region.
Build cross-sector partnerships to align regional housing efforts and foster collaboration.
Our work benefits residents across Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, with a focus on individuals and families across the full housing continuum, from those experiencing homelessness to households earning up to 120% of Area Median Income (AMI).
Based on current regional income limits, 120% AMI equates to approximately $124,700 for a family of four.
ISCHC’s efforts are designed to support:
Individuals and families experiencing homelessness
Extremely low, very low, low, and moderate-income households (0–120% AMI)
Renters, homeowners, and homebuyers
First-time and returning (boomerang) homebuyers
Seniors and families with children
Veterans
Immigrants
Justice-involved individuals
Foster youth
