Affordable Housing Month is a month-long series of events, workshops, and campaigns throughout the month of May every year dedicated to raising awareness and driving action around the housing challenges facing our communities. It’s a powerful reminder to Silicon Valley residents every year that housing is a human right and that the fight for equity, dignity, and stability starts with a safe place to call home. Throughout the month, we come together to amplify the urgency of the housing crisis, celebrate the tireless efforts of advocates and community leaders, and spotlight real, lasting solutions rooted in justice. It’s a movement-building moment that fuels collective action, deepens public understanding, and reaffirms our shared commitment to ensuring everyone, no matter their income or background, can thrive in a home and community they can afford.
2026’s Theme: #AllInForHousing
#AllInForHousing: a reflection of what it truly takes to build a community where everyone can afford to live and belong. It underscores a simple truth: solving the housing affordability crisis requires commitment from all of us.
Being all-in means choosing proven, long-term housing solutions; listening to people with lived experience; and strengthening the partnerships that turn shared values into lasting impact.
Throughout Affordable Housing Month, #AllInForHousing is a call to move beyond intention and toward action—lifting up the people, policies, and organizations making housing stability possible in Silicon Valley, not just for May, but beyond.
