We cannot ignore that the foundation of our collective well-being starts with having a home to call our own—one that is free from unjust evictions, offers a safe and healthy living environment, includes tenant protections, and ensures that rent doesn’t consume 30% to 80% of a family’s income. An equitable housing system must create an ecosystem of stability and opportunity – one that provides a pathway to homeownership while equipping families with the resources, education, and economic opportunities needed to break the cycle of housing insecurity. This workshop will explore housing cooperatives as a sustainable, community-driven solution to address social inequalities and the housing crisis, ensuring that affordable and stable housing is seen as a universal right, not a privilege, at the same time encouraging participants to critically examine their perceptions of what housing truly means in our society.
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.
