YIMBY Action started out as a group advocating for housing in San Francisco, one of the worst cities in the U.S. in terms of housing cost and availability. Since then, we’ve teamed up with people in other growing cities and towns across the U.S. who saw housing become more expensive and scarce in their communities. Now, YIMBY Action has chapters from coast to coast of the US. Through our network, chapters get access to training, tools, and a community of other people passionate about housing.
YIMBY Latino started in 2023 from Latinos in YIMBY Action. It is a group of pro-Housing activists that self-ids as Latino, Latina, Latinx, YIMBY or all of the above. Our motto is "¡Sí En Mi Barrio!", a Spanish version of Yes in My Backyard (YIMBY).
We encourage to welcome more Neighbors in our Latino/a/x Neighborhoods. Welcoming Refugees, Immigrants & all Newcomers with homes. Latino-led @yimbyaction Chapter.

For many, becoming a YIMBY is a way to try to fix the systemic problems that have affected them personally.
