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.

If you haven’t already, you need to see The Banker.

Inspired by true events, The Banker is the story of Black entrepreneurs Bernard Garrett (Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (Samuel L. Jackson) who create a business plan to fight for housing desegregation — and equal access to the American Dream for African Americans in 1960’s Los Angeles.

While the movie takes place in the 1960’s, the legacy of redlining, discriminatory lending, and outright racism in housing policy persist today.

That’s why we’re so excited to host a conversation with The Banker director George Nolfi, writers Niceole Levy, Stan Younger, David Lewis Smith, and producer Joel Viertel

This film tells a powerful story about equality, human dignity, and desegregation — as well as the visionaries who fought to undo the legacy of racism in our cities.

Join California YIMBY for a special opportunity to meet the talent behind The Banker, learn about their inspiration for the film, and discuss how the movie connects to our work to reverse historic housing discrimination.
