Affordable Housing Month

Each May, East Bay Housing Organizations joins our partners across the Bay Area to host Affordable Housing Month.

Affordable Housing Month is an opportunity to come together to build support for affordable housing and racial justice and educate our communities on how affordable housing benefits us all.

In honor of EBHO’s 40th Anniversary, this year’s theme is “Powerful Legacy, Powerful Future.” We’ll share lessons learned from leaders who came before us to reinvigorate our future work.

Events Calendar

This year we partnered with 31 organizations to host a record 30 events through the month of May!

These events spread across the East Bay, including resident panel discussions, groundbreakings and grand openings, and even a tour of local artwork at new affordable housing communities. Educational webinars cover topics such as affordable housing finance, homeownership for middle-income families of color, and the role of housing in healthcare. 

Thanks to our generous fiscal partners, most Affordable Housing Month events are free and open to the public.
