Thank you to Bonnie Packer, who recently stepped down from the Alta Housing Board after 20 years of dedicated service.

Bonnie’s long commitment to Alta reflects her deep passion for the Palo Alto community and her belief in the importance of affordable housing. Over the years, she brought thoughtfulness, steady leadership, and a strong sense of civic responsibility to the organization.

Her service to the community extends far beyond Alta. Bonnie has long been involved with the Kiwanis International and the League of Women Voters, contributing countless hours to strengthening civic life in Palo Alto.

We are deeply grateful for Bonnie’s two decades of leadership and service to Alta Housing and the broader community.

Over the past two years, rising food prices have made it harder for many Alta Housing residents to afford basic groceries. Many of our residents live on fixed or limited incomes, and we have seen a growing need for reliable food support across our communities. To help meet that need, Alta Housing has expanded partnerships with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley , Martha's Kitchen , Loaves & Fishes, La Comida , and Food Runners.

As these partnerships grew, so did the challenge of getting food to residents across all 29 Alta communities. Thanks to the generous support of the Palo Alto Community Fund, Alta Housing will soon have an electric van dedicated to food distribution — helping us bring nutritious food directly to the residents who need it most. 💙

Oversized Randy cut-outs filled the room as the Alta team cheered on Randy Tsuda at the Catherine A. Bauer Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony — a fitting tribute to a leader who has spent decades strengthening communities and expanding affordable housing opportunities across the region.

At Alta Housing, we are especially grateful for the workplace culture Randy has created: one grounded in learning, collaboration, mentorship, and leadership development. The celebration in the room reflected the admiration, humor, and affection so many people feel for him.

Congratulations, Randy, on this well-deserved recognition. 👏🏼

Urban tree planting is an investment in climate resilience, public health, and equity. We’re proud to partner with organizations like Canopy to help grow greener, stronger neighborhoods for everyone.

Alta’s Spring Festival was a wonderful success—and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our partners!

We’re grateful to Xfinity, GreenWaste, Silicon Valley Independent Living Center, Verizon, Newtown Rotary Club, PAPlayers, Kara's Cupcakes, Food Runners SF, The Alcove at Mount Malarayat, Palo Alto Adult School, and for their time, resources, and generosity.

And a special thank you to the many individuals and volunteers who showed up, pitched in, and helped create a joyful day for our community.

Our residents experienced a fun day of connection, celebration, and support. We’re proud to do this work alongside partners who care so deeply about the communities we serve.
