The City of San Jose is revising its policy on the 1.5 Acre Rule to better align with the intent of producing affordable housing opportunity sites by allowing for the conversion of commercial land that meets updated objective standards. This is an opportunity to increase viable affordable housing sites through the city. Join SV@Home in letting the Council know that we are in a crisis and need all possible land resources available to address the community’s need for more affordable homes. The City Council meeting will take place on February 9th at 6pm. The 1.5Ac Rule is Item 10.2.

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.
