Where Did the Students Go? Housing & the School Enrollment Crisis

JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH 12PM

Silicon Valley is becoming too expensive for families and our schools are paying the price. Enrollment is dropping, campuses are closing, and beloved school communities are being torn apart.

At the same time, teachers and staff face grueling commutes from far-away cities, while districts struggle to hire and keep the talent our kids deserve.

Join us for an inside look at SV@Home’s exclusive research on Silicon Valley’s enrollment crisis—and discover how affordable housing can keep families in our neighborhoods and strengthen schools across our region.

RSVP now and join the conversation.

Did You Attend Affordable Housing Month 2025?

Affordable Housing Month is a month-long series of events, workshops, and campaigns throughout the month of May every year dedicated to raising awareness and driving action around the housing challenges facing our communities. It’s a powerful reminder to Silicon Valley residents every year that housing is a human right and that the fight for equity, dignity, and stability starts with a safe place to call home.

Throughout the month, we come together to amplify the urgency of the housing crisis, celebrate the tireless efforts of advocates and community leaders, and spotlight real, lasting solutions rooted in justice. It’s a movement-building moment that fuels collective action, deepens public understanding, and reaffirms our shared commitment to ensuring everyone, no matter their income or background, can thrive in a home and community they can afford.

Developer Resources for ICE Actions: Know your rights, be prepared

Since the advent of the new federal administration, we have seen an increase in local activity by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It is important for affordable housing developers and other community-serving organizations to have protocols in place in the event of an interaction with ICE, and to provide training for staff and residents on rights and responsibilities in the event of an interaction with ICE.

At SV@Home, we are committed to providing developers with the resources necessary to effectively train staff on how to respond to potential ICE raids. We also share materials to inform tenants about their rights to ensure their protection and empower communities. Connect with resources to know your rights and help you prepare.
