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.

You worked hard to get key community priorities into your local housing element- the eight-year plan each city must create to meet the housing needs of all its residents and make space for future growth. In 2025, that two years of the planning (6th) cycle are complete, how are housing elements in Santa Clara County delivering? What are the key trends happening across the county? What programs will need your engagement over the coming year?

SV@Home’s Policy Team engages with local elected officials and city staff, developers, and grassroots advocates all year. Watch the recording to learn more about local progress on housing elements so you can be better equipped to understand and participate in your community’s policy decisions. View the slides here.

SV@Home’s Policy in Action @ Home series (PIA) is a monthly, informal discussion convening Housers to engage on hot housing topics. Every month, we select a topic or current event, bring in an expert to give a brief presentation or interview, and then open up the discussion to ask questions, float new ideas, and identify potential areas for shared action.

SV@Home strives to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please email events@siliconvalleyathome.org
