First Community Housing (FCH) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1986. Their mission is to develop, construct, and manage affordable housing in San Jose and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. With over 30 years of experience, FCH has provided housing for over 1,700 households, and has another 1,400 units in the pipeline.

They serve low-income populations, including individuals, families, senior citizens, and those with special needs such as chronic, mental health, and developmental disabilities. FCH offers apartments with affordability levels ranging from 20-60% of the area median income, with 90% of their residents falling at or below the median. But their work doesn't stop at providing housing; they also strive to build thriving and environmentally sustainable communities.

FCH values innovation, collaboration, resident-centricity, creative problem-solving, and integrity in their approach. At First Community Housing, their focus is not just on homes, but on creating supportive systems and building communities.
