Yes! I support affordable homes in Menlo Park!

Menlo Park City Council

The city of Menlo Park is currently considering building affordable housing in their downtown area. (Click through to see the Staff's official presentation to City Council.)

This is the perfect place to build new homes -- right next to transit, good schools, and local businesses. Unfortunately, this proposal has a lot of opposition and we need our neighbors to show their support for this idea. Our opposition succeeded in delaying this plan, and that's why you should sign this petition. Our leaders need to hear that people support these homes.

Please sign our petition to tell our Mayor and City Council that there are people who will say YES to affordable homes in downtown Menlo Park.

We call on the leaders of Menlo Park to:

- Make these new downtown homes as affordable as possible
- Dedicate as much land as possible to these new homes. The city owns acres of land downtown, and this public good should be used to support our service workers, and downtown employees, in the form of affordable homes.

We all benefit when local employees, young families, & teachers can afford to live here. Affordable homes help our community stay housed, reducing local homelessness and allowing more of our children, working families, and seniors to stay here. Local businesses thrive when they have customers and employees living nearby. Older residents living in large homes can downsize, opening new housing options for larger families and allowing the elderly to live in a walkable, disability-accessible location.

Menlo Park can be part of a bigger solution to ensure everyone has a safe, stable place to call home by promoting housing on our downtown parking lots.
