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.

1265 Montecito, Mountain View

Share:

If approved, 1265 Montecito Ave. will bring a new 100% affordable multifamily development to Mountain View consisting of one 5-story building with 4-stories of 82 residential apartments above a one-story parking structure with common areas. Charities Housing’s project is 0.5 miles from transit making it eligible for a AB 1763 density bonus.

The project is working towards 2022 entitlements with a planned mix of units restricted to families making between 25% to 60% area median income (AMI), including units available for ELI families, veterans, and rapid rehousing. On-site services and amenities will include a Community Room available to the public, gardens and common areas, resident services, private storage, bicycle parking, and a food pantry.

To make this project a reality, the City will need to approve a General Plan Amendment to convert the property from CN to R-4 which involves several meetings open to the public; join SV@Home in telling the City Council that you support this opportunity for new affordable homes in Mountain View!
