The Silicon Valley Talent Partnership (an initiative of Joint Venture Silicon Valley) is looking for a pro bono team of professionals for the following project:

Improving Opinions Toward Affordable Housing

Founded in 2015, SV@Home is a nonprofit organization that advocates for policies, programs, land use, and funding that lead to an increased supply of affordable housing. In 2016 Measure A, a $950 million bond measure to fund affordable housing, passed with an incredible 68 percent of voters’ support. This bond is part of the solution that can help ensure housing is built for some of the 35% of households in Santa Clara County (225,392 families) that are rent-burdened: paying more than 30% of their annual income for housing. This rent burden leaves families less money available for education, healthcare, healthy food, and more.

Despite the empathy and support that led to the passage of Measure A, every time a development that includes affordable housing is proposed, it faces stiff opposition from community members who agree that the lack of housing is a problem but still don’t want it built in their neighborhoods. This opposition based on misconceptions about increased density, affordable housing, and the people who live there, drives up the costs to developers and extends the timeline for a development to be built to​ five to seven years on average​ - often making development infeasible. SV@Home knows that solving the region’s affordable housing problem will take money and smart, effective policies, but it will also take the changing of hearts and minds.

SV@Home is ready to influence the larger narrative around affordable housing by implementing a creative campaign that will help residents of Silicon Valley understand the urgency of the housing crisis and how they are connected to the solution. To do this, SV@Home is engaging pro bono talent to help develop a persuasive marketing campaign that can be strategically implemented as the organization grows.

Project Scope:
Provide SV@Home with creative marketing content and an actionable plan that will help bring awareness to the issue of affordable housing and educate the public on its benefits. This project will involve multiple interviews with internal SV@Home staff and key stakeholders, but most of the project can be done remotely as a team.

Outline of Project Phases
Discovery
● Research marketing and public awareness efforts in other geographic areas that have been able to push the affordable housing movement forward (or other large social movements) and identify what characteristics and partnerships led to their success.
● Analyze research on who the “persuadables” are with regard to affordable housing along with localized data to identify the target population for the campaign.
Ideation and Development
● Develop a creative marketing framework with ‘viral’ potential that combines the project research with the expertise and input of SV@Home staff and stakeholders and is mindful of the current crises affecting our communities. A successful campaign will focus on influencing favorability in the market on affordable housing; SV@Home branding is not the priority.
Campaign Deliverable
● Provide the final campaign framework that includes a slogan/tagline, initial graphics, style and messaging guide as well as suggested metrics to measure success.
● Give SV@Home a roll-out plan for the campaign that reflects options that are accessible at various budget levels. Prioritize details on the implementation of short term, low-no cost activities but also provide an outline of what a full campaign might entail so that SV@Home can use this plan to raise funds for implementation.

Impact
The affordable housing crisis is one of the defining challenges of our region today. Improving public awareness and opinion toward the development of affordable housing is crucial to being able to make a dent in providing enough housing for families in Santa Clara County and improving our community’s health, equity and education. Reducing public opposition will make the development timeline shorter and less costly - which will incentivize more developers. Building more homes by modestly increasing density will help more families and reduce the cost of housing.

Resources Requested
Looking to recruit a pro bono team of ​3-5 individuals​ with experience in marketing; specifically in the areas of:
● Strategic Communications
● Planning
● Copywriting
● Art direction
● Project management Timing

Start:​ Fall 2020
Project Length:​ Approximately 12 Weeks (3-5 hours per week per team member)
