Why Shelterforce

Shelterforce is the only independent publication covering the worlds of affordable housing and community development. We use the power of journalism to inspire, inform, and hold accountable all those working toward more just, equitable, and thriving communities where every person has a place to call home.

Shelterforce is dedicated to empowering those committed to uplifting low-income communities. We’re a platform for conversations on community planning, racial equity, housing affordability, tenant protections, and homeownership. Our content, which includes professional reporting and firsthand voices, is driven by an unwavering commitment to be a champion for vibrant and resilient communities.

Readers and listeners tell us they use Shelterforce to train their teams, in strategy discussions, in lobbying efforts, to find partners, to be connected and informed, and much more.
