HOW WE

GOT OUR START

Formation of the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust (SGVHRT) was authorized by SB 751 (Rubio), which allows San Gabriel Valley cities to band together to bring additional affordable housing resources to the San Gabriel Valley region.

​

The SGVRHT is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors, seven of whom are representatives from jurisdictions that are members of the SGVRHT and two of whom are experts in housing and homelessness. The members are appointed by the Governing Board of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments.
