A People Powered Movement
NPH has a strong record of success initiating, supporting, and passing affordable housing ballot measures and we’re proud to continue building momentum through our work with the NPH Action Fund.
We have been hard at work in many cities, counties, and at the state level, working to support our mission to ensure that everyone has access to a safe, stable, affordable home. We provide research, policy analysis, and expertise accrued from our prior electoral successes in order to help secure placement of critical affordable housing policies and funding at the ballot and give voters the ability to take action.
Member & Coalition Resources
NPH and the NPH Action Fund partner to bring critical resources to support our members in advocacy and campaigns, including resident voter registration and engagement, campaign message trainings, and more.
2022 Electoral Endorsements
NPH is proud to partner with our members in identifying and engaging on important measures to reinvest in our communities and create more affordable homes across the Bay Area.
Take Action
Help us build our movement and our future where everyone has access to an affordable home: improving our health, our children’s educational outcomes, our environment, our transit system, our regional competitiveness, and keeping the Bay Area diverse and equitable.
A Regional Measure
NPH is excited to lead Bay Area Housing For All, a diverse coalition of Bay Area organizations, elected officials, and private sector partners, to partner with MTC and ABAG to move an ambitious regional affordable housing funding measure forward.
