The Kennedy Commission is a community-based nonprofit operating in the public policy space, focused on increasing the production of affordable housing for extremely and very low-income households in Orange County. Founded in 2001 and named after Ralph Kennedy, the organization collaborates with residents and community groups to develop housing solutions that uphold the dignity of low-income families and unite communities toward accessible housing options. Based in Irvine, California, the commission works within the regional housing ecosystem to address systemic barriers to affordable homes, positioning itself as a local advocate and facilitator in housing policy and development. With a modest, mission-driven footprint, the organization leverages coalitions to pursue outcomes that expand affordable housing supply for Orange County residents in need.
