Benefits of Membership
Safe, affordable, and healthy housing is a cornerstone for thriving communities, but far too many low-income homeowners face urgent repair needs without the resources or capacity to respond. Community home repair organizations work to bring resources into their community but that can be overwhelming. That’s where the Coalition for Home Repair steps in.
With a mission to promote the preservation of safe, healthy, affordable housing for all, the Coalition empowers home repair nonprofits through funding, training, advocacy, and peer collaboration so they can restore homes and dignity across the U.S.
Member benefits focus on two key outcomes:
- Increasing your staff and organizational capacity so you can raise more money
- Providing cost-reduction in benefits like CRM's and other things critical for a healthy organization
