2020: #BeMyNeighbor

SV@Home convened our regional housing partners throughout Santa Clara County in celebrating a virtual Affordable Housing Month 2020 in May! Our fifth annual public education and awareness campaign pivoted from a weeks-long to a month-long program, with creative community engagement opportunities, in a time when the importance of a secure, safe, and affordable home has become even more crucial.

For AHM Silicon Valley, our 2020 theme — Be My Neighbor — was even more vital during this time. The global pandemic, coupled with our ongoing housing challenges, has made for a public health crisis at unprecedented scale. Yet even as we practice physical distancing, we are seeing in magnified ways how much we rely on the people, nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies around us for our individual and societal well-being.

Full of virtual events, activities for all ages, and invigorating conversations, AHM 2020 brought our community together to learn, engage, and act on how we can work to make Silicon Valley a more affordable place to live for all of our residents. We highlighted not only our housing challenges, but also dug into the solutions we are building together, with workshops, game nights, and more! View event recordings here.
