The S.H. Cowell Foundation makes grants to support affordable housing because we believe one of the cornerstones for supporting children where they live, study, and play is to provide a safe, stable and comfortable home where families can eat, sleep and spend time together.
In both urban and rural communities, California’s high housing costs pose a constant, seemingly insurmountable challenge for many low-income families.
Cowell works to address this widespread problem by supporting nonprofit housing developers, community organizations, and other efforts to preserve and increase the number of affordable homes in a given community.
| In order to have the deepest impact in a particular place, we tend to limit our housing support to the communities in which we are already engaged through our other main program areas (Family Resource Centers, Youth Development, and K-12 Public Education). This ensures that our affordable housing funding is complementary and has the greatest long-term impact. |
