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 Silicon Valley Business Journal recently daylighted Morgan Hill’s residential construction boom:
“Morgan Hill’s residential pipeline has surpassed 3,000 units, one of the largest growth cycles in the city’s history, as the city pushes to become a more economically self-sustaining market, according to city data. Much of the development is concentrated in north Morgan Hill, where projects are closing the gap with San Jose and reshaping land use and density, city officials said. Officials and developers said the mix of projects reflects sustained demand for more attainable housing in Santa Clara County, while raising new questions about infrastructure and long-term planning.”

Morgan Hill defines opportunity in practical terms: access to stable employment, attainable housing, education, entrepreneurship, and a community where residents feel represented. The City’s broader objective is to maintain a balanced local economy—aligning jobs, housing, and essential services to sustain long-term quality of life.
That objective is being advanced through ELEVATE Morgan Hill, the City’s Economic Mobility Plan. ELEVATE focuses on building clearer pathways to economic stability by connecting residents to local jobs and skill-building opportunities, expanding access to housing information and assistance programs, and increasing meaningful community engagement in local decision-making. Although the initiative serves the entire community, particular emphasis is being placed on improving access and outcomes for Spanish-speaking residents, who data show encounter disproportionate barriers to economic mobility.
The effort is led by the City’s Economic Opportunity Program Officer. The role centers on implementing data-driven, community-informed strategies, with prior experience spanning worker-owned cooperatives, entrepreneurship development, and intergenerational wealth initiatives.
The City, in collaboration with Project Sentinel, is offering a free virtual workshop on Fair Housing laws for both renters and property owners. The workshop will be available in both English and Spanish.
This workshop will provide helpful information on rights, responsibilities, and protections under Fair Housing laws. Please feel free to share this invitation with friends, family, and anyone who may be interested.
