SV@Home July Policy in Action:

The Next 8 Years- Keeping Housing Elements’ Promises

Friday, July 28th from 12 PM – 1 PM

We’re excited to announce that our very own Senior Policy Director Jeff Levin will be speaking at our partner SV@Home’s monthly brown bag event on Friday, July 28th!

Some of our local jurisdictions have had their Housing Elements approved by the state, others are waiting to hear if they have met the bar, while some are so far behind it could be months before they get close to certification. Whether it is next month or next year, a certified Housing Element is just the work plan. The state has promised to hold cities accountable, but it is going to be up to local housing advocates to stay engaged if we are going to realize the potential of this process. Join us to talk about the opportunities ahead, how to think about tracking, and how to leverage Housing Elements to make real changes in our communities. 

Moderated by Alison Cingolani, Policy Manager at SV@Home.

SV@Home’s Policy in Action @ Home series (PIA) is a monthly, informal brownbag discussion convening Housers to engage on hot housing topics. Every month, we select a topic or current event, bring in an expert to give a brief presentation or interview, and then open up the discussion to ask questions, float new ideas, and identify potential areas for shared action.

SV@Home strives to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please email alison@siliconvalleyathome.org.
