In late August, the City of San Jose announced that their $450 million housing bond – Measure V – will be placed on the ballot this November.
Today, we enthusiastically announce that we are endorsing and supporting Measure V to the tune of $25,000!
The Measure will expand access to truly affordable housing for our working families, teachers, students and veterans in San Jose, while transitioning our homeless residents from our streets and underpasses into homes.
Current endorsers include:
- Mayor Sam Liccardo
- Most San Jose City Councilmembers
- League of Women Voters
- Silicon Valley Leadership Group
- Habitat for Humanity
- Sierra Club
- The Health Trust
- Destination:Home
- Silicon Valley @ Home
- ….and many more affordable housing organizations
You can show your support by attending the Yes on V kick-off event on Monday, September 24th at Olinder Community Center (848 E. William Street in San Jose) from 12-1pm. You will hear from members our community speaking up for affordable housing solutions and learn how you can help ensure Measure V passes on the November ballot.
