Our Mission

The mission of the Casita Coalition is to unlock the power of neighborhood-scale homes in California for everyone.

Providing housing choice and opportunity for people of all ages and stages of life, in every community, is an essential foundation for a California where all can thrive. 

We are a trusted statewide coalition of diverse members committed to this mission.

We are Casita Coalition.

Casita Coalition is the only statewide, multi-sector organization that brings together all key players to remove policy barriers, making a big impact through neighborhood-scale homes. Working through our Board, Advisory Committee, and Working Groups, we draw on the diversity of expertise and experience of our members to make it easier to build middle homes in all neighborhoods across California and to share solutions with our growing number of practicing professionals, across disciplines and geographic regions, so we can learn together and implement quickly to build the middle housing ecosystem.

 

By building the middle, we can accomplish great things.

Neighborhood-scale homes - such as ADUs, duplexes, granny flats and cottage clusters - can help meet our changing needs while addressing the broader housing challenges in California.

 
Elected Testimonials

Thank you for all your leadership... Oakland is always proud to play a role in the story of great things, and Casita is a great thing. I am so impressed with all of you.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf

Thank you for the work that you do in understanding that as we try to address and solve this debilitating housing shortage that it’s going to take a lot of different strategies - ranging from very very large projects to small projects and empowering both homeowners and small builders to be able to build that missing middle housing.

Senator Scott Weiner

Thank you for being the pioneer in founding the Casita Coalition and all that you have done…a lot of great legislation that is really starting to make some headway for all of us - the cities that need to get these built...The work you’ve done at the state has just been really helpful.

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo

I just can’t tell you how grateful I am to all of you, to the Coalition, for your incredible work over these past many years ensuring that we have progressive ADU law here in the Golden State.

Senator Mike McGuire

 

ADUs help real homeowners.

These California seniors all built ADUs to help their families and communities - to house family members in need, provide a place for community workers to live near job centers, and create spaces that make it easy to age-in-place.
