The mission of Mutual Housing California is to develop, manage, and support sustainable housing where residents are partners in advancing equitable communities.

Mutual Housing offers a permanent solution to the housing needs of California's diverse families - with residents taking a key role in shaping their properties and developing programming through site-specific resident councils. These councils and issue-specific site committees provide leadership in the identification of resident and community needs and in raising resources to fill those needs. These include youth development programs, education and economic development resources, safety and security programs, and recreational facilities.
