Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
SCHA PROVIDES LOW-INCOME HOUSING TO PEOPLE LIVING IN DAVIS, CALIFORNIA, WHILE FURTHERING THE PRINCIPLES OF COOPERATION, ENCOURAGING MUTUAL AID, AND PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS LIFESTYLES. BETWEEN OCTOBER 2022 AND SEPTEMBER 2023, SCHA PROVIDED HOUSING TO 72 LOW INCOME MEMBERS, 38% OF WHOM WERE FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS. THIS NUMBER IS LOWER THAN USUAL DUE TO THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF ONE OF OUR HOUSES FOLLOWING A SEVERE WATER LEAK. ON AVERAGE, OUR RENTS WERE 53% OF THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE MARKET RENT FOR BED LEASES IN 2022. WE OFFERED $5,509 IN RENT ASSISTANCE TO MEMBERS IN NEED AND 35% OF MEMBERS HAD THEIR RENT REDUCED BY SCHAS SLIDING SCALE. WE CONTINUED OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH SACRAMENTO VALLEY COLLEGE CORPS, PROVIDING OUR MEMBERS AND LOW-INCOME COLLEGE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR SERVICE WITH SCHA. WE HOUSED THE UC DAVIS RESEARCH EXPERIENCE FOR UNDERGRADUATES PROGRAM OVER THE SUMMER, INTRODUCING 12 SCIENCE STUDENTS TO COOPERATIVE LIVING AND PROVIDING THEIR PROGRAM WITH RELATIVELY LOW-COST HOUSING. WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE UC DAVIS SUSTAINABLE LIVING AND LEARNING COMMUNITY FOR A RESIDENT FELLOWSHIP PROJECT TO PLANT FRUIT TREES AND INSTALL A HYDRATION STATION IN ORDER TO SUPPORT FOOD SECURITY AND HEALTH.
