Affordable Housing Week 2018 Events

SV@Home's Link Up 4 Housing mixer

Affordable Housing Week begins on May 11 with SV@Home’s Link Up for Housing mixer. Help us kick off the week by joining elected and business leaders as we explore solutions to our region’s greatest challenge—the housing crisis. Together we can keep our economic engine thriving.

Co-sponsored by Silicon Valley at Home (SV@Home) and Destination: Home, the District 4 candidates forum will allow voters to learn what candidates running to succeed Ken Yeager as Santa Clara County supervisor intend to do about the region’s homelessness and housing crises.

SV@Home's Affordable Housing Week Policy Forum

Affordable Housing 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.

Register early as attendance will be limited.
