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.

In order for Los Altans to better understand our Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) target, what is needed for our Housing Element, and how we can plan for new homes, we have invited two representatives from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to speak to our community.  Join us to learn how our city can create a successful plan for housing that satisfies both our state obligations as well as our community needs.

Panelists:

  • Colin Cross, HCD Representative, Land Use and Planning
  • Annelise Osterberg, HCD Representative, Data and Research Unit

Jon Biggs, Community Development Director, and Guido Persicone, Planning Services Manager, will also be available to answer questions as representatives of the City of Los Altos.  Questions will be moderated by Tom Myers, Executive Director of Community Services Agency MV/LA.

Sponsored by the Los Altos Affordable Housing Alliance, League of Women Voters MV/LA, Los Altos Community Voices, Los Altos Community Coalition, Los Altos Forward, Los Altos Women’s Caucus, Los Altos Residents, Justice Vanguard, and SV@Home.
