As part of East Bay Housing Organizations’ 2025 Affordable Housing Month, this virtual panel spotlighted the vital role of preservation in maintaining housing affordability. Preservation not only offers protections beyond rent stabilization—it’s also a powerful strategy to prevent displacement and homelessness.
Panelists shared three effective models of affordable housing preservation—also known as acquisition-rehab—successfully implemented in the South Bay. They also discussed the essential contributions of affordable housing organizations, government agencies, and philanthropic partners in supporting this critical work.
Hosted by SV@Home and Enterprise, the panel featured:
- Heather Bromfield (moderator), Senior Program Director of Preservation, Enterprise Community Partners
- Kate Comfort Harr, Executive Director, HIP Housing
- Josefina Aguilar, Executive Director, South Bay Community Land Trust
- Felix AuYeung, Vice President of Business Development, MidPen Housing
