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.

Join us for a timely and insightful panel discussion exploring how public and social housing can evolve to meet today’s housing crisis. These models—government owned or supported housing that is permanently affordable— are gaining attention as essential tools for housing stability. With California showing renewed interest in models like Vienna’s world-renowned social housing system, this conversation will highlight the critical role that public housing authorities can play in leading this shift. Panelists will discuss the legacy and challenges of federal public housing, what it will take to build a new paradigm rooted in public investment and equity, and how U.S. housing authorities can be part of a bold vision for the future.
