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.

In 2022, a California full-time worker needs to earn an hourly wage of $39.01 on average to afford a modest, two-bedroom rental home and $31.18 to afford a modest, one-bedroom rental home. Here in the Bay Area, those numbers are much higher. As the country faces record rent increases and rising evictions, it is more important than ever to make meaningful and long-lasting structural changes to ensure renters with the lowest incomes have stable and affordable homes.
