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.
