Subject:EXTERNAL - May is Affordable Housing Month "Remimagining Home"
Date:Monday, May 2, 2022 9:25:30 AM
Dear City Council Members: Gilroy, as all cities
in our area and in our state, has an affordable
housing crisis, as housing prices and rents only
seem to rise. Please consider declaring May
2022 as Affordable Housing Month in Gilroy, in
line with many other cities in the region, to raise
awareness about, as the blurb says below, to
"engage advocates and the general public
around the housing challenges facing our
community and the solutions we can pursue
together." It can't hurt Gilroy's image, and will
only enhance it, to join with other cities to be part
of the solution!
Join SV@Home in #ReimaginingHome this May for Affordable
Housing Month 2022!
Affordable Housing Month 2022 is here! During the entire month of May,
SV@Home convenes our region’s housing partners to host dozens of
virtual workshops, webinars, and creative community engagement
opportunities to educate, activate, and engage advocates and the general
public around the housing challenges facing our community and the
solutions we can pursue together. Our theme this year, Reimagining
Home, invites participants to think outside of the box, deepen their
knowledge, and join together to shift the collective perspective on building
equitable, inclusive, restorative communities.
Thank you! Sincerely, Jan Guffey
