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.

This 100% affordable project proposed by Pacific West Communities, originally approved for 94 new affordable homes for low-income residents, has been amended to request approval for 194 affordable units!

Located in the Alum Rock Urban Village, this development will assist the City in reaching its target of 25% affordability across the Urban Village Plan Area. The site is located on the VTA 23 bus line and just a 5-minute walk from the 22, 522, and 77 lines. Future residents will also benefit from access to regional transit via the coming Alum Rock / 28th St. BART station. The surrounding neighborhood has a variety of restaurants and shops, providing easy access to amenities within walking distance for future residents.

This housing development will soften San Jose’s housing crisis by providing deep levels of affordability for families, with home affordability ranging from 40% to 80%  of the Area Median Income (AMI) and a large proportion of 2 bedroom units.

Join SV@Home in telling the City Council that you support this opportunity for 194 new affordable homes in San Jose!
