Unlock the Future: Housing on the Ballot

In the November election, we can advance statewide policy in California that is truly transformative for our communities. The scale of the housing crisis we're facing means our efforts need more scale, and local voters need more power to address the affordable housing and public infrastructure needs in their communities. Proposition 5 empowers local voters to approve bonds for affordable housing, critical public infrastructure, and emergency response in our communities with a 55% vote – if those bonds have strict accountability and oversight.

If successful, this has the potential to make a significant impact both regionally and statewide. Let’s not be afraid to make smart investments in housing. It's our friends, co-workers, and neighbors who keep the Bay Area running, make it a great place to live, help us retain our workforce, support the businesses that grow our economy, and shape the future of our region.

Join us to learn the latest on the Prop 5 campaign and findings from a study on its potential economic impact, hear about the narrative and messaging work that’s building broader support for affordable housing policy efforts, and discuss how philanthropy can think big and take action to ensure everyone in the Bay Area has a home in a safe and vibrant community.
