Quality Housing Coalition
Website: https://www.qualityhousingcoalition.org/Location: Portland, Maine
Country: United States
Description: Maine is full of active and vibrant small town communities, brimming with restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, breweries, art, music, inland and coastal green spaces, beaches, and trails for all to enjoy. As Maine grows in population and economic productivity in the coming years, our communities are working hard to make space for new job opportunities within our innovative and resilient economy. The biggest obstacle to this growth, however, is the lack of housing.
According to a recent 2023 Maine Housing Authority report, Maine is currently in need of 84,000+ new units of housing today to meet the current and future needs of employees to live and work close to their jobs. With 41% of our 154,000 renters unable to afford the rent, 20,000+ households on the waiting list for Section 8 vouchers, a statewide homeless population exceeding 4,000 people, and evictions rising to 6,000 per year, this is an urgent challenge that requires immediate attention.
Quality Housing Coalition was created in direct response to this challenge and is dedicated to opening new pathways to stabilize and access the housing people need to live, work, and raise their children. QHC centers its work around inclusive cross-sector community partnerships by working with municipalities, housing authorities, state and local leaders, housing and homeless advocates, nonprofit and for profit housing developers, tenants, landlords, property managers, and community members to create housing forward policies that provide quality housing for those in need in Maine.
