Did you hear the good news?  Sunnyvale was awarded Prohousing Designation from California Governor Newsom and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This recognizes our City’s efforts to implement policies that go above and beyond state housing law to facilitate housing production.  One criteria cited was the six 100%  affordable housing developments mentioned below.  

That’s about 749 units since 2019 either completed or in development.

 On Tuesday, at  7P  there is a study session at City Council to review the 295 S. Mathilda Avenue project by MidPen Housing, let’s show our support for this much needed housing project!

In terms of affordable housing we tend to speak of the “3 Ps,” production, preservation and protection.  At our next general meeting we will talk about protection, specifically tenant protections.  Our guest speakers will be Mountain View Vice-Mayor Emily Ramos and Ryan Dyson, Sunnyvale Housing Specialist II.

Come join us Wednesday, September 3rd 6:30P.
