Campaigns

We believe that the Bay Area must be a place where everyone has a stable, affordable place to call home. In the face of a severe affordable housing shortage, rising rents, and an increase in homelessness, we need bold solutions that address these intertwined challenges and enable our region to achieve its fullest potential. That’s why the NPH Action Fund powers campaigns to win housing resources at the ballot box. Together, we can build a future for the Bay Area that is rooted in justice, community, and possibility.

The NPH Action Fund is currently working to secure the passage of the 2026 Statewide Housing Bond bills, Assembly Bill (AB) 736 and Senate Bill (SB) 417, which will generate $10 billion for affordable housing in California, if approved by voters. To respond to proposed federal cuts and address the shortage of affordable homes, the housing bond will provide much-needed resources to support affordability.

The NPH Action Fund is helping to plan for Bay Area communities to secure revenue for affordable housing on the ballot. Alameda, Marin, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Sonoma and other jurisdictions are all considering measures in 2026 to provide individuals and families with affordable places to live. With uncertainty from federal and state budgets, these local measures provide stable funding for the Bay Area that cannot be taken away by the state or federal governments.

NPH Action Fund Endorses Yes on Contra Costa County’s Measure B: Deliver funding for healthcare and housing now

Yes on Measure B generates $150 million annually to respond to federal cuts that are impacting the health and housing services that our neighbors need. This measure would build on existing funding for the County’s Local Housing Trust Fund, which helps our local communities create and preserve affordable housing, expand transitional housing, and provide downpayment assistance so more families can stay and thrive in Contra Costa County.

NPH Action Fund Endorses Yes on San Francisco’s Measure A: Prepare SF for disaster response

Yes on A strengthens San Francisco’s emergency firefighting water system and ensures emergency response facilities are earthquake-ready so first responders can protect every neighborhood when disaster strikes. Every home lost to disaster makes the housing crisis worse. YES on A helps protect our housing and keep our communities safe. View info on San Francisco’s Measure A.

NPH Action Fund Endorses Yes on Marin and Sonoma Counties’ SMART Initiative: Support stronger transit and housing

The Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) system provides reliable transit, reduces congestion, and connects North Bay communities. But annual funding that keeps SMART running is set to expire. The SMART Initiative renews public funding to sustain and expand SMART, improve access to jobs, and make it easier to build new transit-accessible, affordable homes in the North Bay. VIew info on the SMART initiative.
