SV@Home is a 501c(3) nonprofit that envisions equitable and thriving communities that provide homes for all. Our Mission is to build our collective power and advocate for systems change to achieve housing affordability and justice in Silicon Valley.
We believe housing justice will be realized when all communities are inclusive, and community members have the resources and power to lead the development of our communities.
We believe that the path to housing justice is through centering the communities that have been historically marginalized and helping to build power to reverse the legacy of racial and economic exclusion.
As a member organization, we bring people together.
