Proposition 5 will return power to communities! SV@Home and Housing Trust Silicon Valley support voting #YesonProp5 on November 5. Are you with us? “As affordable housing leaders in Santa Clara County and beyond, we are acutely aware of California’s massive housing shortage. Too many low- and middle-income neighbors struggle to afford, find, and keep a roof over their heads. Proposition 5 provides a crucial solution by returning the power to local communities, allowing us to create more affordable housing and ensuring that our public infrastructure keeps up with growth.” - Regina Celestin Williams, Executive Director at SV@Home, and Noni Ramos, CEO, Housing Trust Silicon Valley.

Calling all fellow affordable housing and transit advocates! Join us for a day of action canvass in support of YES on Proposition 5, a historic, structural reform that would make it much easier for local communities to fund affordable homes, public transit, and other public instructure. Prop 5 is neck and neck in every poll so far, meaning that any and all time spent volunteering with us could make the difference; this race will be decided by just a handful of voters. This local Prop 5 voter engagement effort is run by local community-based nonprofits like Working Partnerships USA, SV@Home, and Silicon Valley Rising Aciton, in partnership with We Are California.
