Housing Policy to Pay Attention to Right Now in Sacramento

JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27TH 12PM

Join SV@Home for our next Policy in Action@Home as we break down the latest developments from the Capitol with insider guest Leslie Rodriguez, Partner at California Strategies and Board Chair of the SV@Home Action Fund.

We’ll unpack:

– What’s in (and out of) the state budget

– The housing bills gaining traction and the ones quietly dying

– How this legislative session could shape housing access in our region for years to come

This is your chance to get the real story behind the headlines and what it means for our local work.

RSVP now and join the conversation.

We champion community leadership through mutual support and capacity building. We work to support emerging leaders in diverse communities because we believe that we are better together — that no one accomplishes anything by themselves. And because we believe that housing justice requires the leadership of people who have been historically marginalized, we seek to uplift community leaders and strengthen BIPOC-led organizations to drive housing justice, shape their communities, and transform representation in housing advocacy.

SV@Home runs several programs to support and build capacity for individuals and organizations to advance their leadership in the affordable housing and community development fields. Read more about each program by clicking on the links below.

Community Roots Collaborative

Together with our local partners, SV@Home formed the Community Roots Collaborative (CRC) in 2024 to spur community-based development in Santa Clara County. Given that there are no community development corporations in our region, our goal with the CRC is to encourage, seed, and grow CDCs in our region by providing a cohort of partners exposure and education of the existing landscape of affordable housing and community development throughout the Bay Area.
