San Diego Interfaith Housing Foundation
As the housing prices and rent prices began to skyrocket in California, a group of churches in the San Diego area got together and decided to create affordable housing for the San Diego community that would allow people to live in a safe environment, without having to spend so much disposable income on rent. In 1969, San Diego Interfaith Housing Foundation was created for the purpose of filling this pressing need. Currently run by President Matthew Jumper, the Foundation also has a Board of Directors, which is made up of members of the involved churches, to assist in the oversight of the organization’s mission.
San Diego Interfaith Housing Foundation receives donations from both private individuals and corporations, who in turn receive substantial tax credits for their benevolence. The funds are then used to purchase multi-family residential properties in the San Diego area. The Foundation currently owns over 12 such properties.
In order to become a tenant in one of the Foundations buildings, individuals have to meet certain income requirements. Over half of the tenants in their building are senior citizens living on a fixed income. San Diego Interfaith Housing Foundation also provides a variety of services, including educational and tutoring, to assist their resident in improving their job opportunities and overall quality of life.
