Ensure your voice is heard on Menlo Park Housing! 

Join us this Saturday at a Menlo Park City Meeting to discuss key housing policies, goals, and locations for new homes  

Zoom Webinar: Saturday, February 12th, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

The City of Menlo Park will be hosting a virtual community meeting to talk about housing. (Meeting link: 813-9825-2018)

We hope that this community meeting will be a great chance to hear updates about, and provide feedback on, the City’s progress on the Housing Element. (For background on the Housing Element process, see our past blog post. For a deeper background on the subject of this Saturday’s meeting, see our latest blog update!)

As the City thinks about its goals and what its housing policies should accomplish, it’s powerful to share your own story and thoughts about why housing affordability and security is so important. Stable, reasonably-priced housing that is available equitably to all is crucial for maintaining a complete community. Whether you rent, own, or stay in another setup, whether you live in Menlo Park today or participate in the community in another way, you’re part of the community, and your thoughts matter. 

There are a few key areas where your advocacy can be beneficial this Saturday as the City plans for what Menlo Park looks like in the future. Read our full blog post here to learn more!

Menlo Together’s priorities for the Housing Element plan are that we:

• Plan for deeply affordable housing, especially near transit and services, for people of all abilities
• Increase density near our walkable downtown and El Camino/Caltrain transit hub
• Enact policies to protect tenants from displacement.  

Thank you for your continued engagement!
