Livable Sunnyvale (LS) was awarded a $30,000 grant from Silicon Valley Community Foundation’s Affordable Housing Opportunities Portfolio. The grant will be used to change public perception of the unhoused and influence policy through developing a storytelling campaign. LS will partner with local media and advocacy groups to share these stories and track the impact on public perception and policy change.

Save the date, our next social will be coupled with an event by Catalyze SV on July 30, Wednesday at 5:30P, titled, Why Is There So Much Community Opposition to Housing? PANELIST

Let’s Be Social

Meetings are good and informative but limited. Usually there is only water to drink, no time to learn about each other and/or why they showed up. So we are kicking off social hours. Because sometimes we just want to gather and chat about current events in our community. Every month we will gather and be social. No agenda! You are welcome to come have a drink and sit around a table with us. Our first social will be June 25, Wednesday, at 6:30 PM, at Fibbar MaGees, 156 S. Murphy Ave, Sunnyvale. Bring your friends or partner and a smile. “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” – Carl Jung

Cheers to being transformed!
