About Us

Our Citywide Coalition/Network

Families & Homes SJ (FHSJ) originated in 2020 to support single-family zoning in San José. With the passage of SB-9 in Sacramento (which terminated single-family zoning in the state of California) our mission has expanded to defend the rights of residential neighborhoods and families throughout the city of San José. Every council district in our city contains a substantial number of family homes. A majority of these homes in San José are owner-occupied.

FHSJ monitors local and statewide legislation, zoning issues, and regulatory mandates that impact residential homeowners. We advocate for or against legislation, and we endorse local political candidates and ballot measures that support our goals.

Our grass-roots coalition is 100% based in San José, and our volunteer-led organization receives zero financial support from developers, corporations, special interest groups, endowments, or other powerful entities.

We have partnered with Neighborhood Groups based in a majority of San José council districts on initiatives.
