YIMBY Action

YIMBY Action is a national brand that champions affordable housing and advocates for change in housing policies. Originally focused on addressing the housing crisis in San Francisco, YIMBY Action has expanded to include chapters across the United States. Through their network, local chapters gain access to training, tools, and a community of like-minded individuals passionate about housing issues. YIMBY members, including board members, staff, volunteers, and donors, are driven by personal experiences and a shared belief in the need for accessible and affordable housing. They have firsthand knowledge of the struggles faced due to limited and expensive housing, such as long commutes, homelessness, and limited options. YIMBYs strive to fix the systemic problems that have affected them personally and aim to create a future where housing is abundant and affordable for all. By engaging in politics and advocating for research-backed policies, YIMBYs work to increase the housing supply and eliminate discriminatory laws. They believe that change is achieved through citizen engagement, supporting pro-housing candidates, and actively participating in local politics. YIMBY Action is committed to inclusion and actively works to include and uplift diverse and less privileged voices in their organization.
