Social Housing

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.

The event will discuss best practices, provide case studies of social housing, and present ways to phase into social housing.

“A city no one except the wealthy can afford is not really a city — it is a gated enclave.” Social housing is any ownership or rental housing that may be owned and managed by the state, by non-profit organizations, or by a combination of the two, usually with the aim of providing affordable housing, protected from market pressures. The event will discuss best practices and provide case studies of social housing around the world, and will touch on how to phase in social housing into a community like San Jose.

Speakers for this event include:

Bill Armaline, San José State University Human Rights Institute
Ken Koh, Former resident and owner of social housing in Singapore
Regina Williams, Director of Housing Development, First Community Housing
Jacqueline Rivera, South Bay Community Land Trust

This event is organized by the Coalition of Housers (CoHo), Human Rights Institute, and South Bay Community Land Trust. This event is part of Affordable Housing Month put on in conjunction with SV@Home.
