Getting Inclusionary Housing Right

JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24TH 12PM

Cities across Santa Clara County are considering this powerful tool to build more new affordable homes without subsidy.

But done wrong it can fall short, or even stop the development of new homes in its tracks. Learn how it works, and how to get it right!

Many of our local cities are joining forces right now in a shared nexus study, the wonky and in-depth analysis that assesses the feasibility of local residential development and the potential for developers of market-rate housing to add a share of affordable homes to their buildings.

If cities require too few affordable homes or affordability that’s too shallow, they leave public benefits on the table. Too much, and developers can’t build any housing at all.

Come hear about local cities that are getting it right: successfully using inclusionary housing policies to achieve mixed-income communities, generate funding to subsidize deeper levels of affordability, and gain valuable land for affordable homes!

Did You Attend Affordable Housing Month 2025?

Affordable Housing Month is a month-long series of events, workshops, and campaigns throughout the month of May every year dedicated to raising awareness and driving action around the housing challenges facing our communities. It’s a powerful reminder to Silicon Valley residents every year that housing is a human right and that the fight for equity, dignity, and stability starts with a safe place to call home.

Throughout the month, we come together to amplify the urgency of the housing crisis, celebrate the tireless efforts of advocates and community leaders, and spotlight real, lasting solutions rooted in justice. It’s a movement-building moment that fuels collective action, deepens public understanding, and reaffirms our shared commitment to ensuring everyone, no matter their income or background, can thrive in a home and community they can afford.

Developer Resources for ICE Actions: Know your rights, be prepared

Since the advent of the new federal administration, we have seen an increase in local activity by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It is important for affordable housing developers and other community-serving organizations to have protocols in place in the event of an interaction with ICE, and to provide training for staff and residents on rights and responsibilities in the event of an interaction with ICE.

At SV@Home, we are committed to providing developers with the resources necessary to effectively train staff on how to respond to potential ICE raids. We also share materials to inform tenants about their rights to ensure their protection and empower communities. Connect with resources to know your rights and help you prepare.
