Youth Housing Coalition

Shout out to the youth in Oakland for demanding action! 💪🏽 The voices at the Oakland town hall, organized by the LoveLife Foundation, are a powerful reminder that young people are stepping up to fight for housing justice, job opportunities, and safer communities 🎤🏙️. Their call for change is clear: housing, jobs, and community resources aren’t luxuries—they’re necessities for a thriving future. To everyone reading this: let their courage be a charge for us all to take action 📢 #YouthDriven #ShoutOut #HousingForAll #YouthAdvocacy #CommunityAction #AffordableHousing #JobsAndHousing #HousingJustice

"No one should have to work 80 hours a week just to afford rent." 🏠 During the Youth Housing Coalition's Fall Tour 🍂, we had powerful conversations with students facing this harsh reality. Many shared how the struggle to balance work and studies is taking a toll, leaving them with difficult choices between affording rent and pursuing their education 📚. These stories remind us why we’re pushing for real change in housing affordability. It’s time to create sustainable solutions that ensure housing is a right, not a burden 💡 #AffordableHousing #HousingCrisis #YouthVoices #FallTour #HousingForAll #SustainableSolutions

🔎 Gen Z: Facing Steeper Housing Costs and Rising Debt A recent analysis reveals that Gen Z is shouldering more financial burdens than Millennials did a decade ago. With housing costs soaring and debt levels climbing, the dream of homeownership is increasingly out of reach for many young people today. At the Youth Housing Coalition, we believe this trend is unsustainable and demands urgent action. Affordable housing isn't just a necessity—it's a cornerstone of economic stability and generational equity. As we approach the next presidential election, we urge policymakers and leaders to prioritize housing affordability and address the systemic challenges facing our generation. 🏠 Let's work together to build a future where everyone can afford a place to call home. Join us in advocating for policies that ensure fair and accessible housing for all. #GenZ #HousingCrisis #AffordableHousing #YouthHousingCoalition #housing #homelessness #Advocacy #publiccomment #localgovernment #YIMBY #MoreHousing #MoreNeighbors

In his recent public comments in response to an affordable housing proposal in his town, Mark Egge provides a master class on how to debunk common myths and misconceptions. By going line-by-line, he tackles affordability, parking, and traffic all in under two and a half minutes. These types of comments are critical to show elected officials that there is local support for housing of all types. Kudos to Mark for showing us how it’s done! #housing #affordablehousing #homelessness #Advocacy #publiccomment #localgovernment #YIMBY #MoreHousing #MoreNeighbors
