Check out our Gateway Rising Grand Opening highlights video! 👇🎥 As part of Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County's #AffordableHousingMonth in May, we celebrated 140 new affordable homes for families and individuals in Menlo Park 🏡 Initially developed in the 1960s, Menlo Park's Gateway Apartments underwent a complete transformation, increasing the number of homes from 130 to 230 📈, split between the senior property, Sequoia Belle Haven, and the newly redeveloped family property, Gateway Rising. "The redevelopment of both properties followed nearly a decade of important work including affordable housing policy reform in Menlo Park, local investment to prevent non-displacement of existing residents, and financial bifurcating to transition one property into two brand-new properties." - Serena Ip, MidPen Associate Director of Housing Development ICYMI: Read more 🔗 ✍ The Almanac: https://lnkd.in/gYNRy5KR 📝 County of San Mateo: https://lnkd.in/gEsWnudH 📸 Check out our photo album: https://lnkd.in/g_3XmwkS 🌐 Visit our website for more information: https://lnkd.in/gU5awxyc

Labor(s) of love in our 🏡 world Thank you Michael for sharing! We’re so grateful to develop Golden Gate Avenue 💙 A few weeks ago, we hosted our first community meeting about our upcoming community, bringing our partners together to discuss the history of the site, our design process and timeline - and it truly felt so surreal!

"We have entitled projects now that cannot get financed through the system. There's a pipeline here. It's ready to go." 💭🏡⌛️ 🗣 Nevada V. Merriman spoke on behalf of MidPen Housing at this week's BAHFA meeting, pushing the urgent need for more public investment - and with everyone's testimonies, we did it! BAHFA unanimously agreed to place the $20B regional Bay Area affordable housing bond measure on the November 2024 ballot! 🗳 Soon, voters will be able to housing history, let's do this! 👇 👂 Listen to the KCBS Radio San Francisco coverage: https://lnkd.in/gmm7r6gj 👀 And learn the news from CalMatters: https://lnkd.in/gBvnCXw2 ➕ KQED

It's official!! 🤩👊 Earlier today, the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority (BAHFA) unanimously voted to place a $20B regional affordable housing bond on the November ballot! We're *so* happy to see this important legislation receive strong support and move forward. Housing affordability (and lack thereof) impacts ALL OF US - we must do more to ensure everyone has a safe space to call home 🏡 Thank you Metropolitan Transportation Commission! 👏 Learn how to support the regional bond here: https://lnkd.in/g2wHb-Az Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California (NPH), All Home, Enterprise Community Partners

The new Regional Action Plan Solutions Dashboard from All Home shows what it will take to dramatically reduce homelessness in each Bay Area county, and the region as a whole. The good news is ✨ that it’s doable ✨, but it’s also going to take more resources, commitment, and coordination than we’ve brought to bear before. The Solutions Dashboard also shows how important it is to prevent homelessness. It models how preventing homelessness reduces the amount of new affordable housing necessary, and the total cost. So when we increase the % of homelessness prevented, we watch the cost go down (imagine that 😉)! 👏 Read the report - https://lnkd.in/gXnxGvCG

Congratulations to our partners (and soon-to-be-neighbors at Sparrow Terrace) Encompass Community Services! We had a great time celebrating their groundbreaking last Friday 🥳🤩

In this video, delve into the heart of our work and the true meaning of "Building Communities, Changing Lives" with first-person accounts from residents and employees ☺💙

Best of all? We have fun together 🎉 Our annual meeting is a joy-inducing day of learning, sharing and celebrating - and this year was no exception! ✨ They say a picture says a thousand words, and these photos have us feeling one thing: grateful.
