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 to educate each other on how affordable housing benefits us all. We are the proud conveners of Affordable Housing Month for Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
There are several key ways for you to participate and support Affordable Housing Month in the East Bay: joining us in Oakland on May 6 for our AHM Kickoff Celebration, hosting or attending an event, and becoming a sponsor.
See below and check back soon for more information on each of these opportunities and more!
