While the San Francisco Bay Area has a reputation for being progressive, it’s actually quite conservative when it comes to housing policy.
Fortunately, progressive leaders across the Bay Area are advancing housing solutions to build more equitable, affordable, and inclusive communities and setting an example other cities should follow.
Register now to discuss what progressive housing policies actually look like and how we can all work together to enact them across our region and state. We’ll be in conversation with:
* Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, Housing and Community Development Committee Chair
* Berkeley City Councilmember Terry Taplin
* Emeryville City Councilmember Courtney Welch
Registration is free and open to all!
* Co-presented by the Housing Action Coalition, Bay Area Council, California YIMBY, East Bay YIMBY, Greenbelt Alliance, Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, SPUR, and YIMBY Action.

JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH 12PM
Join us for a learning session about San José’s Rent Stabilization Program and possible updates to the city’s rules on how utilities are billed in rental housing (known as Ratio Utility Billing Services, or RUBS).
We’ll break down:
- What rent stabilization means
- How RUBS works
- And what these proposed changes could mean for renters and housing providers
You’ll also learn how to share your feedback and get involved as the city considers these updates and how it can impact you.
