City of Mountain View and County of Santa Clara staff have been meeting regularly regarding the opportunity to convert the Crestview Hotel, located at 901 E. El Camino Real, into a residential use to meet various housing needs and priorities. The County has been leading the negotiation process with the hotel owner to acquire the site and anticipates beginning the two-step Board of Supervisors’ approval process in the September/October time frame.
A second community meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, August 19, from 6-7:30 p.m. This meeting will be led by the County with continued close coordination with the City. During the meeting, more information will be provided to attendees about the need for affordable housing including for the unsheltered, the unsheltered population already living in Mountain View, funding, tenant selection process, and other priority topics that surfaced during the first meeting. The County expects to mail out notices on Monday, August 2, to neighboring properties using a 1000’ radius.

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.
