Who we are:

The affordable housing crisis in Alabama has reached staggering proportions. Based on data from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, Alabama has an estimated shortage of 44,673 affordable and available housing units[1]. Compounding this problem is the fact there is no clear policy or statewide coalition designated to address this matter…until now.

A number of local and statewide advocates have created the Low Income Housing Coalition of Alabama (LIHCA) to address the housing crisis and increase housing opportunities for Alabamians with the greatest financial need.

Currently, the Board of Directors is comprised of 17 statewide advocates who are working together to implement LIHCA's mission to increase housing opportunities for Alabamians with the greatest financial need.
