 oin us for a moderated panel discussion on emerging research that supports
  the need for a Black Housing and Displacement Study in Santa Clara County
 . Elementary economics tells us that growth is supposed to help everyone\,
  but when Silicon Valley’s economy boomed\, African Americans were left 
 out. From 1980-2000\, census tracts with disproportionately higher poverty
  rates lost Black residents. As the county's Black population declines\, w
 e need to examine its cause and develop strategies to build Black permanen
 ce and regeneration.\n\nWe invite you to investigate place-based community
  development as a means to make Silicon Valley an accessible place Black f
 olks can call home. The community development model empowers community mem
 bers and organizations to play a central role in the prosperity of their n
 eighborhoods. Community developers were essential in preserving and streng
 thening Black neighborhoods in the East Bay and San Francisco from gentrif
 ication between 1980-2000. Meanwhile\, Silicon Valley unsuccessfully fough
 t off these displacement pressures because it lacked a robust community de
 velopment infrastructure.\n\nSV@Home will share a Story Map that walks thr
 ough the history of Santa Clara County’s Black population from the early
  days of San Jose’s founding and its first Black neighborhoods\, into th
 e county’s rapid African American population growth from 1960-1980\, and
  to the displacement that followed as Silicon Valley’s economy boomed. W
 e will end with a Q&A that engages participants and invites them to collec
 tively dream about what it would take to create a Silicon Valley that shar
 es prosperity in and with the African/African Ancestry community.
