May is Affordable Housing Month
Our future, our Bay Area, begins with home
May is Affordable Housing Month, our time to imagine the Bay Area we know is possible when we invest in affordable housing solutions and everyone has a safe place to call home.
Where children can stay in the communities in which they were raised and workers can afford to live in the city where they work. Where we can care for our aging parents and nobody has to choose between paying rent and buying food. Where we have taken steps to repair the harms of institutional racism. And where our homes aren’t something that only belong to the highest bidder — but a basic human need.
In our affordable and thriving future, all 8 million of us in the Bay will have a stable place to call home, gather with families, and build the lives we dream about.
This Affordable Housing Month, you’re invited to join our movement of advocates and neighbors, renters and landlords, homeowners and people experiencing homelessness, to create a new future for the Bay Area.
Join the Begins with Home movement to get started!
“Affordable Housing Month is an opportunity to galvanize our communities around bold solutions so that all of our neighbors — from every race and background — have a place to call home in the Bay Area. We need to come together with ideas and investment at scale, with commitment to our Bay Area values of social justice and belonging, and with a belief that we can make a difference.”
- Amie Fishman, Executive Director of the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California
