The mission of the Community Housing Coalition (CHC) encouraged the preservation and creation of a spectrum of housing options to support Bainbridge Island’s goal of being a diverse, sustainable community. It did so by assessing and tracking needs, acted as a central clearinghouse for community housing information, provided best practice research and contributed to the development of effective public policy.

The Community Housing Coalition (CHC), an outgrowth of the 2004 Mayor’s Task Force on Affordable Housing, was established to help the City of Bainbridge Island meet the requirements of the Growth Management Act and the Comprehensive Plan.
