Coalition Building for Policy Change

A fundamental function of Avesta Housing and its advocacy partner, the Maine Affordable Housing Coalition (MAHC), is to support public policies at the local, state and federal levels that foster the creation and preservation of affordable homes. Avesta and the more than fifty other organizations that comprise MAHC are committed to ensuring that all Mainers are adequately and affordably housed.

By educating policy makers and the public about the causes and conditions of housing insecurity, as well as the economic impact of affordable housing development on Maine businesses, Avesta serves an important role in developing healthy, sustainable communities for Maine people.
