HLC-Action Ready for the Future Party!

Almost every election cycle, local and regional ballot measures shape our ability to build affordable homes and achieve housing justice in San Mateo County.

When an issue is placed on the ballot, pro- and con- ballot measure committees are formed to support and oppose the measure. Once formed, the committees must raise enough money to build and implement effective campaigns. When campaign committees receive early money, they can hire experienced and proactive campaign teams, conduct accurate and effective polling, develop winning messages, build plans and infrastructure to recruit, train, engage and grow volunteer activists and leaders, and succeed on election day.

• In Menlo Park in 2022 “Measure V” would have blocked 88 affordable homes for Ravenswood City School District teachers and staff but a well-funded campaign defeated the measure and the 88 new affordable homes have received final approval.
• In the City of San Mateo in 2020, “Measure Y” - a pro-housing measure - would have increased allowable heights and densities. The measure failed by 43 votes! Early funding to the campaign could have meant a win.

With your support, The HLC-Action Ready for the Future Fund will raise money now so we are ready and able to grant early money to future ballot measure committees as soon as they are formed.

Join us for a celebration and fundraiser on January 29th.
