SV@Home is proud to support the Roadmap Home, a bold statewide policy agenda led by Housing California and California Housing Partnership! The newly released 2026 Roadmap Home Report offers a clear, urgent blueprint for addressing California’s housing and homelessness crisis at the scale the moment demands. Developed through collaboration with housing advocates, policy experts, service providers, and people with lived experience, the report lays out practical, equity-centered strategies to ensure every Californian has a safe, stable place to call home.

Building on earlier editions, the 2026 Roadmap Home Report sharpens its focus on solutions that match the depth of the crisis. California continues to face a shortage of more than one million affordable homes, with low-income renters and communities of color bearing the greatest burdens. The report connects these challenges to decades of underinvestment and racial discrimination in housing policy—and makes the case that incremental change is no longer enough.

The roadmap organizes its recommendations around four core pathways: providing immediate protections and relief for renters and people experiencing homelessness; repairing the harms of historic racial inequities in housing; strengthening the state’s leadership and accountability in housing policy; and dramatically increasing ongoing funding for affordable housing, homelessness prevention, and supportive services. Together, these strategies emphasize prevention, stability, and long-term systems change, not just crisis response.

For Silicon Valley communities, the report’s findings are especially relevant. Sky-high housing costs, displacement pressures, and limited affordable housing supply are daily realities for many residents. The Roadmap Home Report provides a statewide framework that local advocates and policymakers can use to push for bold investments and policies that keep people housed and help our region remain inclusive and economically vibrant.

The release of the 2026 Roadmap Home Report is both a resource and a call to action. We encourage community members, advocates, and decision-makers to explore the full report, engage with its recommendations, and help advance housing solutions rooted in equity and urgency.
