While the San Francisco Bay Area has a reputation for being progressive, it’s actually quite conservative when it comes to housing policy.
Fortunately, progressive leaders across the Bay Area are advancing housing solutions to build more equitable, affordable, and inclusive communities and setting an example other cities should follow.
Register now to discuss what progressive housing policies actually look like and how we can all work together to enact them across our region and state. We’ll be in conversation with:
* Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, Housing and Community Development Committee Chair
* Berkeley City Councilmember Terry Taplin
* Emeryville City Councilmember Courtney Welch
Registration is free and open to all!
* Co-presented by the Housing Action Coalition, Bay Area Council, California YIMBY, East Bay YIMBY, Greenbelt Alliance, Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, SPUR, and YIMBY Action.
The Housing Needs of Undocumented Residents
JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, JULY 25TH 12PM
Undocumented immigrants face unique and often invisible barriers to housing—exclusion from federal programs, fear of retaliation, and discriminatory screening practices.
Join us for a timely conversation on how we can break down these barriers and advance housing solutions that include everyone—regardless of immigration status.
We’ll explore:
– Why undocumented immigrants are excluded from key housing programs
– How fear and discrimination drive housing instability
– Local policies and community-based models creating real change
