SV@Home Information

SV@Home's mission is to drive the creation of affordable housing for a more vibrant and equitable Silicon Valley. In 2014, faced with a worsening housing market and concerns about the impact of rising rents and home prices on lower-income workers, seniors, and the “missing middle” – including teachers, nurses, small business owners, and construction professionals who can’t afford the high prices but don’t qualify for subsidized housing – a group of South Bay housing professionals came together to launch a new organization with a laser focus on affordable housing. This new organization, named SV@Home, opened its doors in July of 2015 with the vision of a community where all people have access to a safe, stable, and affordable home. Through policy, education, and messaging, SV@Home works to increase the supply of housing affordable to all. Initially started as a program of Housing Trust Silicon Valley, SV@Home became an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in January 2017.
