SCANPH is a membership association, founded in 1985, that supports and advocates for those who develop and sustainably operate affordable housing. SCANPH is uniquely situated to identify, prioritize, strategize, and lead policy efforts that are designed to create an environment conducive to affordable housing development. We are measured by our ability to serve low-income residents of the region by securing critical public subsidy funds for new affordable home development, and by our ability to make our members more effective developers amidst funding and resource challenges.

SCANPH strives to increase the capacity and expertise of our members, educate policymakers and the public about the need for affordable housing, and help to establish policies and programs that further these objectives.

Mission

The mission of SCANPH is to facilitate development of affordable homes across southern California by advancing effective public policies, sustainable financial resources, strong member organizations, and beneficial partnerships.

Nonprofit developers, SCANPH’s core constituent, provide below market-rate homes for low-to-extremely-low income community members and for people experiencing homelessness. Simply put, we focus on economically disadvantaged individuals and families who are most in need of affordable housing.
