#AHW2016

In activities across the Bay Area this month, the affordable housing community will raise awareness and celebrate the efforts of hundreds of advocates and communities across the Bay Area that have helped build and preserve thousands of affordable homes.

We encourage everyone to take a fresh look at what’s driving the crisis in affordability and the solutions we have in hand today for future housing security. We need action by elected leaders, community participation, and smart public policy.

Join us and our subregional partners during Affordable Housing Week 2016 for grand openings, tours, workshops and panel discussions!
