Housing Claremont serves our community by identifying needs for affordable housing and homeless services, and supporting, advocating, and coordinating programs to mitigate these needs.
We seek to contribute to alleviating housing shortages for low and very low-income residents through coordinating the development and funding of new and redeveloped housing; educating the community about housing and homelessness; and working as a local and regional advocate for these issues.
