The Partnership for the Bay’s Future is where solutions-minded residents of the Bay Area come together to develop creative and effective responses to some of our region’s most formidable challenges.
Currently, in the Bay Area, housing affordability threatens to limit the region’s growth and resilience. A household of two full-time workers each making $15 dollars an hour can only afford to live in five percent of the region’s neighborhoods. And the housing affordability crunch is most acutely felt by Black and brown communities.
A household of two full-time workers each making $15 dollars an hour can only afford to live in five percent of the region’s neighborhoods.
We take a two-pronged approach to move the needle on affordable housing–investing in the production and preservation of affordable homes and advancing policy change to protect residents who are already in affordable homes. The Partnership is therefore composed of a family of loan funds focused on increasing the supply of affordable homes in the Bay Area, and policy grants that supports the creation and implementation of policies to stem the tide of displacement across the region.
