Hi John,

#AffordableHousingMonth is in its final stretch! Don’t miss these inspiring and engaging activities coming up this week:

• TODAY: Housing, Race, & Homelessness: Ending Poverty in the Bay Area, Monday, May 23 from 11:00AM – 12:30PM PT
  
  There’s still time to join us today! NPH co-hosts with the Commonwealth Club to listen to former Mayor of Stockton Michael Tubbs and All Home CEO Tomiquia Moss as they explore how housing instability is interconnected with racial inequality, poverty, and homelessness and outline his five-point platform for ending poverty in California.
  
  We’ll also hear from a panel of broad cross-sector partners on how to move principles and concepts to action items and concrete next steps, including: Cathy Eberhardt, Vice-Chair, Oakland Mayor’s Commission on Persons with Disability; Melissa Jones, Executive Director, Bay Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative; and Courtney Welch, Emeryville City Councilmember.

• TOMORROW: #AHMChat Twitter Chat, Tuesday, May 24 from 11:00AM - 12:00PM PT
  
  Here’s our chance to amplify our collective pro-housing and pro-people messages for Affordable Housing Month! Co-hosted by NPH and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, we’ve organized an AHM Twitter Chat where we can come together to share, loud and proud, what affordable housing and homelessness solutions can look like and what they mean for our communities in the Bay Area. Hop on Twitter at the time of the chat and search #AHMChat to join in!
