What Solar Community Housing Association does
Mission
Scha is committed to providing low-income cooperative housing that works to confront and critique systems of opression through ecological awareness, inclusive self-governance and alternative economic models.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Scha provided housing to 89 low-income members during the academic year. On average, our rents were 71% of the weighted average market rent for bed leases in davis in 2024. We offered $9985 in rent assistance to members in need. 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 and gain hands-on experience with landscape management. This year we focused on negotiations with uc davis for a 20 year ground lease extension for the baggins end domes to codify scha and ucd's commitment to affordable housing onsite. We completed underground electrical upgrades to the first half of the domes, and negotiated a contribution from ucd to complete upgrades for the second half. We strengthened our partnerships with the sustainable living and learning communities of uc davis to lead land stewardship projects adjacent to the domes community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $1.2M to $1.3M (+13%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 8% · 2021 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
4% of SOLAR COMMUNITY HOUSING ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (37% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
