May is Affordable Housing Month and a perfect time to reflect not just on housing, but on what it truly means to belong. To demonstrate the importance and value of providing affordable housing, the Housing and Economic Mobility teams have collaborated with partners to organize a series of events all monthlong.

The Magnolias Community is Morgan Hill's second rental project to include units specifically dedicated for farmworker housing. This multi-family rental community will feature 66-units and will be located at 17965 Monterey Road in Morgan Hill. With the City of Morgan Hill's existing apartment vacancy rate at 1%, the Magnolias provides affordable housing options to households earning 30% to 60% of the area median income (AMI), which for a family of four is $168,500. This project provides much needed affordable housing for agricultural workers and unhoused families.
The City is in the process of updating the Housing Element of the General Plan for the 2023-2031 period as required by State law. The Housing Element establishes policies and programs to address Morgan Hill’s existing and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the community. The first step in this process is to ask community members what they see as Morgan Hill’s most important housing needs. Please complete this 10 question survey HERE to provide us with your input. All responses are confidential.
We encourage you to be a part of the housing conversation by attending the Housing Element Plan Virtual Townhall Meeting on Thursday February 10th @ 530PM. The meeting will include discussions on the existing and upcoming Housing Element, housing needs of the city, the cities Sites Inventory, housing policies, and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) requirements.
