Bay Area housing crisis hits home for San Jose councilman Peralez, family

San Jose Councilman Raul Peralez and his family were priced out of their home in late April and forced to relocate after living in their neighborhood for nearly 10 years.

Peralez represents District 3, encompassing downtown and central San Jose. He and other council members have grappled politically with a mounting housing and homelessness crisis in the Silicon Valley, but Peralez has often shared personal struggles with soaring costs and income inequality in the city where he was raised.
