About Us

The Workforce Housing Coalition is non-partisan, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working to advance diverse housing options by engaging municipalities, elevating employer voices, and informing policy conversations so everyone who works in the Greater Seacoast can call it home. 

 

WHC advances workforce housing solutions through four core pillars:

Four Pillars

MUNICIPAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

We serve as a trusted resource to municipalities, equipping municipal staff, elected officials, and civic leaders with practical solutions and on-site support to help meet their community’s housing needs. WHC helps local leaders understand workforce housing opportunities by showcasing what works, including successful projects, financing tools, and planning practices, while connecting them to relevant experts and resources to make informed, housing-friendly decisions tailored to their unique communities. 

EMPLOYER VOICE & BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT 

We work with employers, chambers of commerce, and other business partners to highlight how workforce housing supports the region’s economy, communities, and quality of life. WHC helps bring business voices into local housing conversations and reinforces the connection between housing, workforce stability, and regional economic vitality. 

EDUCATION & COALITION BUILDING

We help regional stakeholders better understand key housing issues, local challenges, and practical solutions. WHC delivers educational programming and services to build shared understanding, strengthen relationships, and support coordinated action across the Greater Seacoast’s housing ecosystem. 

ADVOCACY SUPPORT

We support state and local advocacy efforts by sharing timely information, elevating local perspectives, and informing policy conversations. WHC helps connect regional experience to policy discussions while prioritizing our role as an educational resource, convener, and local voice for workforce housing solutions.
