This #BlackHistoryMonth - and every month - it's critical that we recognize the history of racial discrimination in housing in the Bay Area to inform our work building & sustaining affordable homeownership. "This history established massive inequities in who owned land, who had access to financing, and who held political power, all of which determinedand still remain at the root of decidingwho can call the Bay Area home." Join us in exploring "Roots, Race, & Place" a hyper-...local report by the Othering & Belonging Institute - to better understand the racialized exclusionary housing we see today.

1 in 6 U.S. families are paying half or more of their income on a place to live. Bay Area families are even more cost-burdened by housing with homes in San Francisco selling for a median price of $1.4M. Help make the #CostofHome more affordable for families across the U.S. by #voting this election. Don't wait - the election is 1 week away!

On November 3, Habitat invites East Palo Alto residents to join a large coalition of political, community and business leaders in voting #YesOnMeasureV. A "yes" vote will provide hundreds of thousands of dollars for affordable housing for city residents. #CostofHome #AffordableHousing

This election, City of San Mateo residents will have the chance to vote against 'exclusionary zoning' rules that make it harder to build affordable homes near to public transit. We urge San Mateo voters to vote "No" on Measure Y to help make the #CostofHome affordable for more local families. Learn more: http://ow.ly/DwMu50C4g5W
