Join EBHO next Thursday, January 23rd for their Virtual Lunch & Learn and hear from EBHO Leadership Academy staff and participants about the program, learn how to apply to join the 2025 cohort, and get involved with RUN!
At EBHO, we believe that the people most affected by affordable housing policy should be at the forefront of the housing justice movement. We launched the Leadership Academy in 2015, after hearing from resident organizers that they wanted to learn more about housing policy and organizing skills. Many of our Leadership Academy alumni also participate in Residents United Network (RUN), a branch of Housing California that brings together people who live in or need affordable housing and who believe every Californian deserves a safe and stable place to call home. Through our partnership with RUN, Bay Area leaders have taken powerful action to make sure that our State Representatives vote for affordable housing. Join us next Thursday, January 23rd for our first Lunch & Learn of the year and hear from EBHO Leadership Academy staff and participants about the program, learn how to apply to join the 2025 cohort, and get involved with RUN! ➡️ RSVP at bit.ly/ebho2025

The combined 90 units of affordable housing provides homes to working families, farmworkers as well as permanent supportive housing to those who were recently homeless—but homeless no more! A huge thank you Rep. Mike Thompson, State Sen. Bill Dodd, State Asm. Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, Napa County Board of Supervisors’ Vice Chair Anne Cottrell and City of Napa Mayor Scott Sedgley for their remarks. An incredible show of support for equitable housing solutions from Napa’s representatives at all levels.
