About the Coalition
The Sadowski Housing Coalition is a nonpartisan collection of more than 40 statewide organizations. The coalition came together in 1991 with the goal of obtaining a dedicated revenue source for Florida’s affordable housing programs. Membership in the coalition has grown since and continues to grow today. Currently, membership in the coalition ranges from business and industry groups to faith-based organizations, demonstrating a wide breadth of support across all industries in the State of Florida.
The Sadowski Coalition is not an incorporated body. Its composition in the governmental affairs staff for each statewide organization. The Sadwoski Coalition itself has no lobbying representative, as it is not a corporate entity. Each Sadowski Coalition member agrees to promote that all the housing trust funds, both state and local, are used solely for the trust fund purposes. One of the strengths of the Sadowski Coalition is that these organizations may differ widely in their views on other subjects, but come together with one voice to support using all the housing trust funds for housing. Below, please find a complete list of the Sadowski Coalition members. A print-ready PDF is available here.
