"Coming Soon" is about to be a thing of the past for us. That big "Priority 1, Coming Soon" finally has a name. It's Regional Measure 4 (RM-4). And SCHA is excited to be supporting this effort.
This Regional Housing Bond Ballot Measure (Now called Regional Measure 4 / RM-4) has been an ongoing effort from BAHFA and regional partners to invest $20billion in housing the Bay Area. If passed, this measure will allocate bond money across the 9 Bay Area counties, including ours!
The first big update and opportunity to get involved in supporting this measure is Thursday, July 25th. SV@Home and Working Partnerships are leading the campaign in our campaign and are holding a gathering for community based organizations (that's us!) to learn more. It's important to have a large showing at this meeting to signify the amount of support that this measure has.
We'll share more information on the RM-4 when we have it (and have the time to share it)
