A Regional Approach
The Bay Area’s affordable housing crisis touches every single person in the Bay Area. Unaffordable rents and home prices in the Bay Area are pushing out many long time residents, especially communities of color, and forcing our workers farther from job centers and our vulnerable communities farther from their networks of support.
NPH’s Regional Program is geared towards promoting affordable housing solutions across the nine Bay Area counties. We work with members, allies, and supporters and with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the Bay Area’s land use and transportation planning agencies, to promote innovative affordable housing solutions for all 101 cities and 9 counties.
Our Regional Agenda
NPH is working to secure a firm commitment from our regional governing bodies MTC and ABAG to develop a comprehensive approach to addressing our housing affordability crisis with bold plans and programs to hold cities and counties accountable.
Housing Elements
The Housing Elements process is one of our region’s most important opportunities to advance an ambitious, equitable, and sustainable vision for housing. NPH is excited to provide community engagement resources that advocates can adapt to educate, engage, and mobilize across the Bay Area.
Bay Area Affordable Housing Partners
NPH is proud to partner with advocacy partners working at the city and county-level across the Bay Area, to maximize regional collaboration and coordination and lift up all efforts. Learn more about these local organizations and how to engage directly.
