Prop 1 is about more than housing production. It's about creating opportunities for people to put down roots and move forward.

➡️ It means teachers, EMTs, and other essential workers who keep our communities running can afford to live in the places they serve.

➡️ It means families striving for economic stability can do more than barely get by and instead build a future of opportunity for their children.

➡️ It means people seeking a path out of homelessness can access the housing and supportive services that help them achieve lasting stability.

➡️ It means greater housing density near transit centers, which means less traffic congestion and pollution for everyone.

Housing is a stabilizing platform for life change, creating opportunities for people to prosper, enhance their well-being, and give back to their communities.

📣Let's do this! YES on Proposition 1!

What a milestone! Congratulations to the California Coalition for Rural Housing on 50 years of championing affordable housing and thriving rural communities. Proud to celebrate at this year's Rural Housing Summit.

Among the summit's highlights: Nancy Pelayo, Director of Leasing at MidPen Housing, and Jane Renahan, Director of Property Management at People's Self-Help Housing, co-led a lively session exploring challenges and opportunities found within farmworker housing.

California thrives because of farmworkers. Thank you for sharing your insights on supporting the communities they call home!

⭐We're proud to support MidPen community members at nonpartisan GOTV events at locations across the region we serve.

MidPen's Ricardo Melgoza recalled one resident's first time voting: "She brought her twin boys to the ballot box with her, and they were so excited to watch their mom cast her vote." 🌞

Moments like these remind us that civic participation can inspire future generations while helping shape decisions that affect housing, community, and well-being across California. 💫

✅ With next week's election approaching, make sure you have a plan to vote - and take a look at MidPen's endorsements: https://www.midpen-housing.org/what-we-do/electoral/

Art does more than beautify a place - it reflects culture, sparks conversation, and fosters connection. That's why the art installations at MidPen properties are thoughtfully designed to celebrate the people and stories that make each community unique.

Recently, we worked with our long-time partner Civic Design Studio to bring new color and vibrancy to MidPen's East Bay office. Thank you to Civic Design Studio and the talented artists whose work now brightens our space!

We were proud to welcome the "County in Action Northern Tour" to Midway Village in Daly City, where local elected officials and community leaders learned more about the partnerships and programs serving San Mateo County.

Strong partnerships are at the heart of creating lasting solutions. We are grateful for the opportunity to highlight how collaboration helps expand housing opportunities throughout the region.

Thanks to the extraordinary staff of Midway Village for hosting us, to all the county staff who supported the event so beautifully, and to the speakers: County Executive Officer Mike Callagy, Supervisor David Canepa, Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo, Debbi McInytre, and MidPen's own Vice President of Housing Development Strategy, Mollie Naber.

Every Grand Opening is special, a chance to celebrate the new beginning that affordable housing offers residents, but today's Grand Opening of Ira D. Hall Square holds extra special meaning.💙

The community provides 176 affordable rental apartments for families and individuals, including 45 homes reserved for formerly unhoused people. It's named for one of MidPen's founders and our first President, Ira D. Hall, whose legacy is still very much alive in MidPen's mission to provide safe, affordable housing of high quality. We know that stable, affordable homes create lasting impact across generations, making it particularly fitting to celebrate alongside the Hall family.

Located across from the Lawrence Caltrain Station, Ira D. Hall Square is also the first development built under the City of Sunnyvale's Lawrence Station Area Plan, a vision for a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood centered around one of the region's major transit hubs. 🚅

We were delighted to share today's celebration with our funders and partners: City of Sunnyvale, California (Government), County of Santa Clara, Santa Clara County Housing Authority , California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) , Bank of America , Destination: Home , California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, California Debt Limit Allocation Committee.
