May is Affordable Housing Month and we remain committed to utilizing the month’s events and activities to promote meaningful dialogue about affordable housing solutions and opportunities. This year, we’re hoping to secure an official proclamation from the Governor, and we need your help!

Please click here to sign on to NPH’s letter asking the Governor to proclaim May as Affordable Housing Month. We will collect signatures until Friday, February 7. 

Thanks to all of our affordable housing industry colleagues and leaders who provided input and support for this letter and proclamation.

Attention San Jose members and partners: NPH strongly supports Measure E in San Jose, which is now the most expensive city in America to buy a home. Measure E is a common-sense solution for affordable housing that will help support investments to provide affordable housing for veterans, seniors, teachers and first responders, will help fund more innovative housing solutions like more housing options near existing transit, and will help support services to transition the homeless off the streets and into housing. Learn more about Measure E here and join with other local housers for a Day of Action on February 1.

This month, NPH joined SV@Home, All Home, Eden Housing, and many other partners and advocates for the Yes on E campaign kickoff to get voters educated and mobilized to vote for Measure E on March 3.

We’re fired up!
