Throughout Affordable Housing Week—May 11 to May 18—there will be tours and sessions that offer opportunities to learn, engage, and explore affordable housing solutions underway in Santa Clara County. The week culminates on May 18 with a policy luncheon featuring a distinguished panel of speakers that will explore regional approaches and solutions to the housing crisis that are underway locally and throughout the nine-county Bay Area.
The panel discussion will be moderated by Los Angeles Times reporter Liam Dillon and includes Steve Heminger, CEO of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission; Caitlyn Fox, director of policy and advocacy for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative; Maya Perkins, executive director of the newly formed Bay Area Forward; and Ken Rosenberg, former Mountain View mayor and current city councilmember.

The agenda includes presentations and disussion on the City’s planning goals for the Diridon Station Area, SAAG’s role and operation, and future community engagement activities.
The meeting also provides a space for public comment. Key to this process is community voices, and we encourage housing supporters to attend the meetings and speak up about the need to create housing opportunities as jobs are added to the City.
As a SAAG member, SV@Home is pleased to join more than 30 other organizations in providing feedback, advocating for more housing, significant affordability, and an integrated, mixed-use urban design. Join SV@Home at this meeting to speak out for housing near Diridon Station!
New development in the Diridon Station Area may add 6-8 million square feet of employment space and an estimated 20,000 workers to the area west of Downtown. More housing—especially affordable housing—is needed to house new workers and their families.
