March 26: Come Support Affordable Homes in Menlo Park
Next Tuesday, the Menlo Park City Council is voting on a proposal with 140 affordable homes at the lowest incomes. This 100% affordable proposal will include much needed units for individuals, seniors, and families. Preference will be given to people who have recently been displaced or are experiencing homelessness. But if this proposal isn't approved on March 26th, the project will be stalled through 2020. Menlo Park needs these deeply affordable units now.
Join us at City Council in supporting this proposal!
